A couple of phone screens including a case study, and an in person interview panel. After the in-house interview, they told me that they were supposed to get back to me the next business day after the debrief. It took them a week to get back to me despite multiple inquiries to find out my status. Basically, there are too many people involved in the hiring process, and they are unable to move forward quickly as they are too busy deliberating. They are scared to make decisions. I saw this as indicative of their work style as well, and I'll be joining a company that can move faster.

Case interviews, many rounds, very data driven. The rounds of feedback and hiring manager role in hiring were vague. Process lingered for weeks followed by recruiter call sharing internal candidate hire.
