Application
I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at PCORI (Washington, DC)
Interview
First round was with the hiring manager and then second round was a panel interview with the rest of the team. It took a few weeks to hear back and they ultimately let me know that they role was being scrapped.
Interview
Extremely lengthy experience. Interviewed with the recruiter for 15 min, 2nd interview with hiring manager for 30 min followed by an assignment, 3rd panel interview for 2 hours with 8 people followed by another assignment. Didn't hear back for 4 weeks following the last interview. I followed up multiple times with the recruiter and was ultimately denied. Had I not continuously followed up I'm not sure I would have heard back.
