The interview process spanned approximately three weeks and included six stages: an initial conversation with a recruiter, an interview with the hiring manager, two cultural fit interviews, a panel interview involving a presales-style product demonstration, and a final follow-up with the recruiter. While the team was professional throughout, the overall process felt longer than necessary. Some interviews were cancelled during the process with limited communication, which made it difficult to understand the timeline and next steps. For the panel interview, expectations around the product demo were not very clearly defined, and there was limited guidance available for preparation. I reached out to my assigned buddy for support but did not receive much direction.
