Interview with Internal Head Hunter over the phone for them to understand your background. As long as they feel you fit the role, they will schedule for in-person interview. Had a series of 4 interviews with Hiring Manager, VP or SVP of group, and Technical People.

1 x Call with an external recruiter to vet experience and skills 1 x Call with team lead to chat on these items + hypothetical questions Did not get the role but the next step would have been a technical interview which i'd imagine were a few scenario's for problem solving on the DB or Java side and a final round in panel format. Basically, the call with the team lead resulted in a 'no-offer' based on my previous experience that didn't include any on-premise or java based systems. Too much startup work. This all could have been avoided or discussed with the recruiter first in a proper screening call to save everyone's time. The recruiter also made the interview awkward by literally saying 'this is the most awkward interview I have ever had' due to the fact that they were trying to be candid about a match of my skills to the role, and also asking more questions then trying to fit me to potential role that was different; while a nice gesture, its not what I wanted so it could have been discussed offline. Overall it was an awkward and strange experience, and I doubt I would interview here again...
