I secured the interview through a colleague with whom I had worked closely at a previous company. The interview process involved an initial screening call with a recruiter followed by 3 rounds of interviews with senior managers. First round with a functional manager. Second round with a technical manager to understand my technical background. Final round with a managing partner.
Overall, the process took about 2 weeks. However, they were not in the position to bring on additional consultants at the time and they communicated this to me. The process was very transparent. I received an offer about 6 months later.
