The hiring process was long and involved multiple rounds. Every individual I dealt with was professional, but it was clear the company is extremely disorganized in terms of hiring strategy.
When asking simple, critical questions such as "In what city will I be working?" or "How much travel will there be?" I could not get a straight answer. The answer to these questions seemed to change, with one answer given at the start of the process and a different one during the final round interview.
At some points, I received same-day responses, while at other times there were week-long delays.
Ultimately, my biggest takeaway was that the company lacks a coherent strategy as they rush to assemble new teams.
