I applied online for a Technical Director position. I completed a 2-hour home assignment and was invited to a total of 7 one-hour interviews. The team members were all very friendly, polite, and respectful. I sincerely had a great time, so this rating is aimed to only review the process itself.

The interview questions were unexpectedly easy. It took more than 5 interviews until someone was able to really explain the specifics of the role, including with which team the candidate would actually work. Prior explanations were quite vague and sometimes conflicting. There seemed to be little to no internal exchange to see if it makes sense to proceed with a candidate.

Eventually, I didn't get an offer due to the lack of experience managing large teams, a detail obvious from my CV and early on discussions. Why would that realization take 7 interviews?

The entire interview process took over 6 weeks.
