Interview process for this role was structured and communicative from the HR side - they knew exactly which steps would be ahead and with whom. That was the exception however, as most other roles seemed to be a black hole. Conversations were friendly, interesting, and thoughtful. In the end, after 4 rounds of interviews, we were far apart on compensation so it was a mutual agreement to not proceed to an offer.

A little drawn out but thorough. Everyone was nice and open about challenges and opportunities within the office. HR was very communicative and kept me in the loop the whole way.
