I initially got contacted by a recruiter looking to hire for a new position similar to user research. I had two phone screens and one in-person interview, and there was a long period of not hearing back except to let me know they weren't sure which department the position would be best suited in. Finally, they decided to not hire for that position but wanted to interview me and see if I could fit in the UX team. I had another phone screening with someone from UX who hadn't seen my resume and didn't know about the recruiter or any of my previous interviews. Went away feeling like this was unprofessional, and that they struggle hiring someone with an unconventional background.

Two rounds of phone interviews with one round of on site interview (1 Team presentation with 6 one on one) For the on-site interview, there were two rounds of culture interview and two rounds of skill interview and two rounds of collaboration intervew)
