Confirm with the recruiter whether the position's requirements will remain unchanged. I went through the entire wringer only to find out they were unable to plan accordingly. Like all engineering interviews, this one is also very involved with 7 (!) rounds: - recruiter screen (20 min) - hiring manager interview (1 h) - take-home (4-5 hours est) - technical interview (1 hr) - design interview (30 min) - leadership interview (30 min) If you made it this far, you get one more interview: - meet the rest of the team (30 min) Unfortunately for me, they decided the position wasn't a fit for their business requirements and thus cut me loose. Leadership made this decision before I met the team, so the meet-the-team interview wasn't even necessary. A waste of everyone's time.

Recruiter screening, 45 mins call with hiring manager, 3 more virtual onsite interviews. I gotta say, it was pretty disappointing how I got ghosted after the interviews. I even followed up a couple of times, but no response. Not cool at all. It's important to give candidates some closure, even if it's a rejection.
