Entretien
Initial contact by recruiter followed by screening video with hiring manager.
Next, was invited to a 3 hour session. This consisted of 30 minute technical presentation followed by multiple interviews with senior and junior staff members. Original invite did not specify any topic; however half way through the presentation delivery, the hiring manager was miffed that I did not present on my current work.
Additionally the hiring manager misconstrued the content of my resume.

The first interview was a video assessment. The second interview was with the lead manager, who was very nice and caring. The process felt open and thoughtful, with an emphasis on ensuring a good match for both sides. Process took very long (+5 months).

Entretien
I completed a phone interview following the initial screening call, but both interviewers asked very similar questions throughout the conversation, so I honestly could not tell which person was actually the hiring manager during the interviews.
