Interview
Referred internally and got invited to phone screen right away. Went through 4 rounds of interviews and was told they’d be making a decision in the coming week. Everyone was very pleasant and responsive. Then never heard from them again for a decision either way even after a follow up.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Why did you apply for two different types of positions?
Thorough and pragmatic use of virtual rather than insisting on face to face. Cross functional panel which gives a good opp to speak to a range of people that you would be working with closely. Mix of more structured competency style interviews as well as less formal chemistry conversations.
