The interview process appears thorough, but ultimately seemed to be more based on achieving a personal connection with your interviewer.
Round 1 - 5 min screen - very easy
Round 2 - online assessment
Round 3 - 1 hour interview
Round 4 - presentation requiring ~15 hours prep
Rounds 1-3 were fine, nothing unexpected
Round 4 you are asked to do a large amount of prep for a case study they provide. They recommend at least 15 hours of work. I put mine together and presented it back. I made some assumptions for the case study which the interviewer told me were not right and he became very fixated on this throughout the entire presentation. From my perspective, if I had made assumptions based on the info provided, I would expect some reflection from them on why their brief was unclear and. Ultimately an interview should try and and understand process, aptitude on the challenge and presentation / personal style. It seemed to me there was a right / wrong answer expected and the interviewer could not get past this.
I received no feedback from my app (except a rejection email) and given they are asking candidates to put in so much time I found this rude and disrespectful to candidates. I would be cautious before applying and only do so if you have large amount of time to commit.

Question 1
In round 3, there is an in-interview role play to test your approach to product problems.
I had an interview with a recruiter as part of the hiring process. The conversation included specific questions related to the role and my previous experience. The interview was structured and focused on assessing my fit for the position and understanding my background in similar tasks.

to walk through my entire design process live, from understanding the problem to delivering a solution for a specific case
The process was very comprehensive, and the interviewers were very good at what they were doing. The first phase is quite easy, but when it comes to the later stages that's where the weeding comes out. Overall a challenging interview.
Recruiter kept me well informed throughout the process. They also provided documents about the company and benefits which was appreciative. You’re also expected to take an assessment during the process.
