I was immediately given a take-home exercise before any kind of interview. Then had a very positive interview with the hiring manager, followed by one with a Data Scientist, which was interesting but found out that they would have no direct relationship to the role. As you'll see with another interview experience listed here, the manager added me on LinkedIn and said that there would be some good news coming my way. The good news turned out to be that I'd have a further 4 more hour long interviews with a range of stakeholders which were staggered over a week. I recognise that I wasn't a good fit for the role, but equally, if they had said from the outset that I would have to go through 6 hour-long interviews, plus one recruiter call and a take-home test, I wouldn't have applied. As you'd probably expect, after investing all that time, I got one line of feedback via email and no response when I asked for more detailed feedback. I understand that some businesses want a rigorous process to find the best candidate, but it doesn't seem the best use of anyone's time pulling in 8-9 people from different areas of the business to interview candidates for roles which aren't related to their area.
