Sollicitatiegesprek
1. A 15-30 minute recruiter call.
2. Three 1 hour technical and work experience interviews.
3. Two 1 hour technical and work experience interviews with team leads.
Overall, I thought the process was coordinated well. Very supportive recruiter and good interviewers from start to finish. One interviewer was particularly tough, but fair and I think it’s by design. Relatively balanced between technical and work experience related questions. About a 3:2 ratio for technical questions.
Something I wish I had done is break down my work experience better. If it's something you did a couple of years ago, make sure you remember as much of it as possible. In the case that you don't, go back and try to piece everything together before the interview. You don’t want to be struggling to remember or guessing details during the interview.
Also, if you struggle with something in any round of the process, try to know it for subsequent rounds. This was a mistake I made. I was asked some variation of two questions I had seen prior and was unprepared. Caught me completely by surprise and made things more difficult than they should've been.

They ghosted me after 3 consecutive 1 hour long technical interviews with members of the engineering team (in which I personally thought I did fairly well and solved all three white boarding problems with the optimal solution). Really regret wasting my time bothering with this company.
Each interview is 1 on 1 with an engineer or data scientist. They start with some basic questions and then jump into a coding problem. I got the impression that there isn’t a great or clear organizational structure from the questions I asked them.

Sollicitatiegesprek
Applied online through LinkedIn, a recruiter reached out afterwords and scheduled 4 tech interviews
Recruiter Screen X 1
Tech interview X 4 - 1 hour each
After the tech interviews, I reached out to the recruiter twice within 3 weeks span. Finally, he called me back with a generic rejection saying you passed the tech challenge but we have a new CTO and we've changed the direction and my skillset is not a good fit now.
If someone is investing 4 hours of their time in interviewing with you, the least you can do is follow up and keep the candidate updated. Being a startup comes with hiring and coordination challenges but this is unacceptable.
