Initially the hiring manager declined the interview three times and I had to provide availability for the same interview multiple times. One of the interviews was scheduled early in the morning around 9 AM CST and it felt like the interviewer was not comfortable. Overall it was a really bad experience.

The interview process for the position was several rounds. The first round was a call with the recruiter, the second round was a in depth discussion of my skills and experience with an engineering manager, the third and fourth rounds were technical interviews involving a PR review and a system architecture design problem. The fifth interview was with some of the management covering more behavioural style questions and the final interview is with the director of the department
