The interview process began with a couple of phone screens, followed by an on-site interview.
The on-site interview was very thorough and lengthy, involving meetings with approximately 10 different people.
Despite having highly relevant experience, I was rejected. The recruiters did not seem interested in explaining the decision.
In a word: confusing.
I still don't have a clear reason for my rejection, except that perhaps I was too nervous or lacked strong social skills.
Get plenty of sleep before the on-site interview, as it is long and will involve talking to many people.
Although the interview wasn't very technically challenging, I sense they prioritize social interaction. This information may be useful for future candidates.
