The process took 7 rounds, each and every stakeholder right from bottom to the top of the hierarchy took my interview. Simply clarifies that no decision taking power lies in the hands of mid management.

I contacted the recruiter through linked -in and was immediately contacted back. First conversation with recruiter involved generic questions around previous roles and responsibilities. Second interview was with a subject matter expert and was fairly difficult - very much a case interview style specific to my area of expertise. Third interview was set up over the weekend with the hiring manager. Interview with hiring manager was kind of awkward - it looked like the interviewer was more focused on showing his skills rather than listening to my answers. 4th interview was a face to face interview. Entire process took about a week and half.
