Lengthy is the short way to put it, although some of that is definitely because Covid has shifted how companies interview. It started with a short video chat with the hiring manager. The next stage would have been an on-site full day visit with interviews with team members and a couple other folks, and was instead a series of video interviews spaced out. This included peers, adjacent managers, and finished out with another chat with the hiring manager. This second stage also accounted for a technical skills interview. Making it past that stage got me video interviews with two C-levels, and the final interview was a call with the head of HR.
