Hiring process was standard. Recruiter calls to set up a phone interview with HR and then a face to face panel interview, although I had one on one interview with the interviewers. Amongst them I had a bad experience with one of the managers as he had already decided not to hire me, so he told me all hard things that I will have to face while in the job like no work from home, long hours, frustrations. In the end he hinted that the job is not my cup of tea. I wanted to walk out after that, however the senior director came in just in time and I had the last interview session with me. I was honest to the senior director about the last session and he assured me that the person is probably just trying to check your patience. Anyways I was annoyed and I left with a bitter taste. Later I called my recruiter and told her about my experience and expressed my unpleasantness towards the process. A week later I was told I was selected and they extended the offer, they even negotiated salary and vacation paid time off and increased both as well. I however thought a lot about it, as the person with whom I had negative experience would have been my immediate supervisor, I declined the offer.

There are several rounds of interviews in the process. The first is the screening with HR and then the actual interview with the hiring manager. And then the final meet with Director or leadership team.
