The interviews consisted of very standard questions, but the process took several weeks and consisted of SIX different interviews. HR first, then hiring manager, then several members of the team, non-direct leadership, then skip-level up.

Question 1
How would your experience translate to this position?
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Cepheid in Jul 2021
Interview
Ghosted after three interviews that went pretty well with positive acknowledgments from the interviewer during the interview. The boiler plate paragraph you receive with the interview request states the candidate will be kept up to date all the time during the process. HR seemed very disengaged, robotic and out of touch during the whole process.
Initial Phone call with recruiter. This was more of information session. After that phone call with hiring manager. This was a more in-depth information, and Q&A session for about 30 to 45 minutes.
