Interview
Nice and attentive HR, and interviewing process moves quite fast. The first round is a phone screening, after which you are paired up with a manager for another phone interview with more detailed questions about your profile / interests / awareness of the news.

Interview
Had a first interview which went really well, then had a test which went great too, then had an interview with a Senior Director and the interview went really well and I had all the skills required but I was rejected. I was very confused and asked for feedback but never received any. Impossible to get in touch with anyone and the only person who would assist referred me to the HR person who never answered my request. Would recommend that the company and the people they hire put more effort into answering emails and providing a way to communicate with the people who interviewed you.

Interview
Did so many interviews (5 in total) as well as a quiz. It was an extremely lengthy process and there must not have been any communication between the different interview panels as they asked the same questions each time. It became very repetitive and draining.
