Three rounds of interviews. One with the recruiter, the second with the team leaders and the third with the teams directors. The first two were to engage your qualifications and the last was to understand your personality and how well you would fit with their group.

The initial interview was done online. The questions appear on the screen, and you have 3 minutes to answer. The answers are recorded. The system crashed halfway through the interview. I was scared to exit out of the system for fear it would not reload. The instructions were insufficient, and it is difficult to do a one-sided interview as you have no back and forth, and cannot read any body language. You also have no opportunity for clarifying anything. It felt very impersonal, and gave me the impression they did not care enough about their candidates to actually speak with them. There was no feedback given at all. Though this took place many, many months ago, their website still lists me as under consideration. Either they do not close out their positions or this is the longest interview process I've ever had. Either way, more communication is needed.

5 back to back 30 minute interviews This question seems simple, so many people fail to prepare for it, but it's crucial. Here's the deal: Don't give your complete employment (or personal) history. Instead give a pitch—one that’s concise and compelling and that shows exactly why you’re the right fit for the job. Start off with the 2-3 specific accomplishments or experiences that you most want the interviewer to know about, then wrap up talking about how that prior experience has positioned you for this specific role.
