I had a phone screen with the recruiter and was green light to speak with the manager of the team. The final interview was about 3-4 hours with a 30 min presentation for 5 individuals that may or may not be directly involved with the role itself. Followed by 1:1 q&a with each person. I did not enjoy the 1:1 as I felt that the questions were not job related, but riddles. I understand that the interviewers wanted to hear me speak on solving a problem/thinking on my feet, but it was not what the recruiter had outlined and I was unprepared. The work-life balance lacked and so did the potential pay.

Interview with the hiring manager went okay. Ask about the work schedule before discussing pay, since it could significantly affect your salary expectations and overall decision making informed choice better.
