First stage - phone screen. All other stages - interviews with senior recruiters from multiple locations (done by phone). Most of interviewers are friendly and asking specific competency based questions (e.g.sources for finding new candidates). Last stage - personal interview in the office. The process might take too long, be ready for that.

The hiring process was smooth as I came through acquisition of a start-up, grade leveling was appropriate for the role I was hired at.
