Interview
This was by far the worst and probably most illegal interview I have had. I was scheduled to meet with a VP for a manager role about two weeks in advance. The VP showed up several minutes late for the call. The first thing she says is that she has been busy and didn't look at my resume beforehand, but she'll look now. She tells me that they have a strong internal candidate but want to interview external candidates for full coverage. The VP asked me why I wanted to work there and I responded for about a minute. She then said that a "work fire" came up and said she had to end the interview less than 5 minutes into it. I never received an invite to continue. I suspect this was a sham interview to meet the legal requirements before hiring their internal candidate.
Recruiter was communicative and responsive throughout the process. Everyone I spoke with felt genuine, intelligent and supportive. Given the current state of the company, they were also honest about how the streaming team fit into future plans, which I appreciated.

Interview
The interview process was standard. I had 3 rounds of interviews that seemed to go well, and then I never heard from the company again. Being ghosted in a difficult job market is frustrating. It would be better to receive a generic email saying the company went with a different candidate.
The interview process took about 2 months. In that time I met with about 10 people, which is a lot! However, I enjoyed the process and really appreciated meeting so many people on the team and getting to inquire about the role. Because it was a long process it was a bit anxiety-inducing but honestly what interview process isn't?
