Onsite with 5 team members - all competency based
Overall, the whole process was very chaotic. Interviews were scheduled last minute despite availability provided far in advance. The onsite interview was scheduled 4 days before (giving me little notice) and the flights chosen resulted in all day travel. Expense policy was 50 a day which is a bit impossible when you’re in airports all day.
At the end of the process, I received a competing offer and notified the recruiter. The recruiter then completely ghosted.
