Phone screen with recruiter, Teams interview with Plant Manager, onsite interview with management team. It was supposed to then be an interview with Corp HR but didn't schedule that. Very slow process, very delayed response. Had to follow up a few times in-between to get an agenda.
Phone screen with recruiter, followed by phone interview with hiring manager then final, panel interview. Depending on the position, you may be asked to do a business case presentation for your final interview
