HR screening followed by 2 video call interviews, one case question and behavioral questions. Next is two take home assignments (one presentation, one SQL) to be completed in 48 hours. It was difficult because of the time limit and the amount of work I put together. No feedback was given on the assignments. Then I was invited to the final round, which are three interviews, a mix of case interviews and behavioral questions. Did not get to talk to the hiring team until the last round, which I found to be bizarre how this interview process was set up. During the HR screening, HR knows little about the position to give a good introduction about the role, and yet the final round questions were oddly team-specific. Almost every interviewer was late 10-15mins for the interview.

Had a phone screener with a recruiter who very clearly did not want to be there and just asked typical generic questions about my background, communication styles, etc. Was given a take home case study and short SQL exercise and given 48 hours to return it (which I spent most of my weekend on) only to receive an auto reject email two days later. I did not get to speak to the hiring manager or anyone on the team I applied for.
Fairly simple recruiting process. Intro chat with recruiter, case study round, debrief of case study, then final round in office with team. Was given an Excel sheet full of transaction data and asked to put together a client-ready deck of slides with insights (graphs encouraged) and recommendations based on what was found.

I went through two rounds, with HR and my would-be manager. Both were fairly straightforward. I did think the manager interview went well, but no dice. I believe they look for a certain style in approach that needs some research.
