It felt chaotic, the interviewers showed up late to the 3rd round interview which was a role play. It was a 30 minute call which they were 10 minutes late to and I was still expected to hit all the metrics outlined.

This was an unnecessarily long and repetitive interview process. It began with an AI interview and a one-hour assessment. That part made sense: it allowed me to introduce myself and demonstrate my skills. Next was a recruiter interview, which was helpful for learning more about the role and covering standard screening questions. I then met with a hiring manager from a similar team, which also felt relevant and aligned with the position. After that, the process became excessive. I was scheduled with someone from a completely different team, followed by a leadership interview. The leadership interviewer noted that the questions were standardized which was fine, but they were largely a repeat of what I had already answered multiple times earlier in the process. The most concerning step was the interview with the person from the unrelated operations team. The conversation felt more like an interrogation about my previous employer's internal operations than an effort to understand my experience, working style, or fit for the role. It did not feel constructive or relevant to the position I applied for. Overall, the process felt drawn out, repetitive, and misaligned. Several interview stages did not add new evaluation value and extended far beyond the originally communicated timeline. It came across as inefficient and not respectful of candidates’ time.
