Submitted application through online, and recruiter contacted me to schedule a phone interview. Couple hours prior to the scheduled phone interview, recruiter sent me an email to ask reschedule it in following week due to she was homesick. I agreed. In the following week, I followed up with her since she made no contact, but she became responseless. Now I got rejection email. Why did you even try to set up a phone interview? It was such a waste of time.
Interview process is super long (2 months) with recruiters being Randstad contractors and non responsive. When they do get back, they call you out of no where. The process was as follows, I talked to the hiring manager, then there was a presentation panel interview with 5 (two didn't show up), followed by five 1:1 interviews (interviewers showed up late). A few other observations, this company is old school corporate, meaning it is quite hierarchal, siloed, and and set in their ways. The interviewers kept saying that one way or another.

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Bose (Boston, MA) in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview process was very long, about 3 hours a day for 5 days. I met a lot of very talented people, but I don't know if I would say that the work that you needed to put in was worth it. There was very little feedback after those 15 hours and a presentation.
Multiple phone interviews with hiring manager and HR, in person interviews with cross-functional managers I would be working with. The process took a long time, but I was hired in the end.
