30 minute phone interview with recruiter - mostly talked about the company and why I applied, what salary range I was looking for 30 minute video call with hiring manager - discuss the role more in depth and background 1 hour video call with hiring manager + 2 other managers - discuss role in depth and some technical questions Declined role and recruiter was incredibly rude, despite me thanking her for her time and efforts. Made her wait 3 days (which she was OK with) while I decided between this and another offer and apparently that set her off. Overall glad I dodged a bullet, though the hiring manager(s) were pretty cool.

The interview process consists of three distinct stages designed to thoroughly evaluate a candidate's fit for the role and the company. The first step is an HR interview, which focuses on your background, behavioral questions, salary expectations, and cultural alignment. Candidates who successfully pass this initial screening move on to the Technical interview, where their specific job-related skills and problem-solving abilities are rigorously tested. The final stage is a meeting with the Director, where the conversation centers on strategic thinking, leadership potential, and alignment with the department's long-term vision before a final hiring decision is made.
