I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Checkout.com in Feb 2021
Interview
5 rounds in total
1 - initial phone screen with recruiter
2 - technical / cultural interview with hiring manager
3 - stakeholder interview with country lead
4 - peer cultural interview from other regional offices
5 - final cultural interview with main lead
It was a long thorough process where they focused on making sure you were the right culture fit and able to keep up to speed with them. Entire interview process took around 5-6 weeks.
Even though the process was long, it was still one of the best interview processes I've ever been through. The interviewers made sure to put me at ease and make it conversational. They had genuine interest in getting to know more about me and to see how I could fit the role. Some of the questions asked were difficult but fair and relevant to the scope. There was a lot of focus on cultural fit and their values as a company.
The recruiter also constantly kept me updated about the progress and gave me feedback on my strengths and how I could improve. The openness and transparency helped me address any concerns they might have and it was mutually reciprocated and definitely appreciated.
Overall, despite its rigour, it was one of the best and most thorough interviews I've been through.

Interview
The process was set up in main 3 Interview steps - from a first call with the Recruiter, the Hiring Manager and an onsite interview with different stakeholders. The stakeholders were different people within the organization from different areas of the business (Sales, tech etc.). Their were quite some people involved in the process, but each stakeholder interview was pretty casual and the people created a great atmosphere. They asked questions around your aspiration or motivation to join the company, it was always a pleasant conversation and actually was a great opportunity to meet a few people from other departments too.
