Interview with the manager and team head. Questions connected to experience and technical work itself. Checking for organization culture fit as well, which is great. Clear next steps were outlined.

I applied for a Customer Success Manager posting online after seeing an ad on facebook. After I had answered a few questions on the website I was scheduled a short call with the recruiter. I was then invited to do an onsite interview with the head of the department together with the recruiter and then separately (surprisingly for me) with the COO of the company. The first interview focused on my previous experience and reviewing my ability to come up with solutions to the problems I would face as a CSM. The goal of the interview with the COO was essentially to gauge my personality - the questions were more general and personal. I was then invited to do a 'demo day', where I did a few exercises that reflected the real tasks I would go on to perform on a daily basis, sitting with my future team to mimic a day of actual work. The whole process took about 2 weeks, but I've felt it was designed to ensure that there is a real understanding of what the job entails on part of the applicant and that there is a culture fit between myself and the company. Because of this I haven't felt like my time was wasted as the process moved swiftly from each step to the next one, and while it was indeed elaborate I definitely see the value of an early verification and complete transparency it exhibited.
