Process
I had a first chat with an HR representative who explained the interview process, the open position, and how the company is organized. They also asked me a few questions about my past experience.
Then, a 60-minute chat with a Senior Team Lead who asked many questions, such as: "How would you deal in this scenario?"
The interview process was interrupted by Elastic after this interview due to my short experience as an Engineering Manager. Everyone was super kind.
