The interview process took nearly 2 months. I applied through the careers site and within a week hiring manager reached out for availability and scheduled a call. The call was getting to know me, share roles and responsibilities and if I was fit. the next step was recruiter call where we went over the pay range, location and other misc. I was later scheduled for 6 technical rounds (4 from the team and 2 cross functional) followed by hiring manager round again to crosscheck the expectations set by the team. The next interview was with the CISO, it was more like getting to know the candidate and the final round was an executive round which was more like the CISO round.

several rounds of interviews, from the hiring manager, team members and members of other departments, to see if the person's profile fits in with the organization's culture it's a long but worthwhile process
