Phone screen with recruiter.
Phone screen with Manager.
Mock discovery call with Managers(supposed to be 2 people only one showed).
Final interview/presentation/culture fit with two managers and two peers(only one peered showed up).
Overall this was the most disorganized interview process I have ever been through. I started the interview process with a manager who had open head count on his team. Progressed through two rounds with that manager and was asked to move to the next step. The following day they say two of three managers were let go and the manager I interviewed with is now running three teams but no open head count. I offered to finish the process anyways because I didn't want to be out of site out of mind A, and B I didn't want to have to repeat any of the four steps I had already gone through. They declined and made me wait 3 weeks when they opened the same head count again and I had to reapply for the same position I was already in the process for. They skipped the steps I had already accomplished and brought me in to meet face to face with the two managers they currently have.
Neither manager was prepared for the interview. They didn't know what position I was interviewing for nor did they know what was expected for the interview that day. I already had a mock discovery interview with the one manager and was supposed to come in for a follow up discovery/presentation based on that call. The first manager clearly did not have any notes from that call nor were they shared with the other manager. On top of that neither manager knew anything about the case study and the recruiter asked me to prepare a deck which the managers both said they didn't want to see. When I started the discovery piece of this interview it was clear that neither manager wanted to participate constantly deferring to the other person and not have an answer for anything just lots of "umm...good question" followed by a lot of dead air with the two managers staring at each other waiting for the other to answer the question and finally throwing as basic a response as possible out there. Due to one of the managers showing up late to this interview and general lack of preparation I didn't get to field any questions or close for next steps after the presentation piece and was moved on to a culture fit discussion with a member of the team.
There were supposed to be two members of the team for this interview and only one showed up. Again completely unprepared not knowing which position I was interviewing for. She guessed wrong and had questions prepared for a totally different position. When I asked her questions about the company internally what I felt came right out of her mouth. "Things are very disorganized here and it leads to a lot of wasted time not selling. We are constantly having meetings to try to clarify things that could have been clarified in the first meeting or an email." I sent my thank you emails to which one of the managers responded with I will hear from them very soon.
5 days go by and nothing so I follow up with the recruiter who says he'll follow up with me in a couple days. He schedules a call with me two days later only to say there still hasn't been a decision. The only feedback he had received was that I was their strongest candidate and the two managers were concerned the job would be too easy for me. I told the recruiter in my mind if they aren't ready to say yes in my experience that's a no and he tried to play it off like that wasn't the case and asked for two more days. After those two days they finally told me no which to be honest I was probably going to turn down the offer had it been made anyways because this process was so terrible.
I've provided this feedback to LinkedIn all in all I would say avoid this company. If they are this disorganized when they are supposed to be at their best recruiting you, imagine how bad it is when they aren't trying to impress you.

I had phone screen interviews with 2 recruiters, then I had 3 interviews and a presentation. So it was thorough. They are interested in 3 main things, personality, ability and motivation. If you have what it takes you also have to fit the culture, which is critical.
