3 months long and roughly 4 rounds of interviews, with some considerable waiting between each.
First round, screening call with HR Rep.
Second round, call with Manager.
Third round, call with Manager colleague.
Fourth round, onsite (3 stages)
Each phone interview was positive and informative, with good questions and discussion.
Invited in for final onsite interview, asked to do a presentation - involving 2 scenarios.
Also asked to fill out a lengthy and detailed personality questionnaire beforehand.
On site interview in several stages:
1 - HR chat and request to build a model. Quick tour of office.
2 - Manager and HR meeting, to review Personality assessment
3 - Panel Presentation
I found the Personality assessment to be poorly executed - each question (of which there were about 80 to 100) requires a force ranking of 5-10 traits or skills, eg - Do you prefer to be on time, Well organized, and other options. Stage 2 of the onsite is then an evaluation of those answers, resulting in questions like - "You say you don't like to be on time?". If you require force ranking, something has to go at the bottom.
The Panel presentation / group interview was fairly one-sided. After presenting for 20min, there's then questions from the panel for most of the remainder, with little opportunity for questions or discussion at the end. The timing was poorly handled, with the manager having to stop it short, with no real conclusion.
There was no hiring response within the provided timeline, so I followed up with HR. Hear back from them a few days later, with a rejection, and with trivial feedback, leaving a poor impression after the months long process, and investment of time and effort from a candidate.
