Initial review and first interview seemed to go well. Was asked to perform a multi-day technical test, which was fine. I completed the test and sent it back where they quickly told me the job was offered to another person. If I wasn't in serious contention for the position, then don't ask me to waste my time performing a tech test that took several hours to complete. I don't mind doing them but I had better be a contender before you spend my time on such a comprehensive test. It left an overall bad taste in my mouth and sparks concerns of ageism.

I applied online for a Technical Director position. I completed a 2h home assignment, and was invited to a total of 7 one-hour interviews. The team members were all very friendly, polite and respectful. I sincerely had a great time. So this rating is aimed to only review the process itself.
The interview questions were unexpectedly easy. It took more than 5 interviews until someone was able to really explain the specifics of the role, including with which team the candidate would actually work with. Prior explanations were quite vague and sometimes conflicting. There seemed to be little to no internal exchange to see if it makes sense to proceed with a candidate.
Eventually I didn't get an offer due to the lack of experience managing large teams - a detail obvious from my CV and early on discussions. Why would that realization take 7 interviews?
The entire interview process took over 6 weeks.
