Recruiter wasn't upfront about the scope of the role. Got to the fourth round to be told this was more of a sales-led function and I didn't have the right experience. This is what happens when the first 3 rounds are with a recruiter who doesn't understand the role and pushes you to succeed despite clear incompatibilities.

The interview process was very long (about 2.5 months) with a lot of gaps between interviews. If you've never used the STAR method before, this is exclusively the interview style they want. There were four rounds: 1) 15 min phone call with a recruiter 2) Video call with a senior recruiter 3) Video call with the hiring manager (and perhaps others) 4) Video panel interview with the entire team (where they ask you pretty tough questions for 45 minutes to an hour) There would have been a fifth round of a panel presentation (what am I presenting? Good question.) But in the end, they told me they were taking the role back in-house to decide what they actually needed (Why was this not the first step before posting the job?) in Q4 (but I actually saw the same job posted a month later). I understand that there's a certain learning process involved in interviewing for the team, but it definitely felt like I was very qualified for this job, yet was strung along for almost three months. I have a lot of friends who work at this company in various businesses and love it, just be aware of the risks of interviewing with a huge company with a lot of approval/discussion processes.
