I applied directly for the role and was contacted within a week by TA for a screening interview.
This was followed by a couple of rounds:
1) Hiring Manager
2) Panel consisting of a peer and a VP from the business side
3) VP Finance based in US
4) HR Director
Following these, there was one more conversation with the hiring manager to sum up the interviews and understanding of the role. There were lots of stakeholders involved which helped define the role clearly and I appreciated the concluding round with the hiring manager for any further questions and understanding.
In the process, TA was also very helpful & responsive in sharing what the process was and on next steps.
