Recruiter reached out through email after reviewing LinkedIn profile. 1st call was about 30 mins with the recruiter. Second interview was FaceTime with a manager in the department. 3rd interview was on site interview with 13 people that spanned directors, managers, engineers, project managers. Very challenging and tough. Pretty much interviews entire day.Thoroughly went through my resume, asked about challenging technical problems, product development, process development.
