A recruiter reached out to me and I had a phone screen with him first and then I had a call with the hiring manager. That process took about 2 weeks and then within another 2 weeks I had an interview and met with 5 different interviewers. They asked a lot of follow up questions and most of the time didn't leave much time for me to ask many questions of my own.

It had 6 rounds- heavily focussed on leadership principles. they really do cross question almost every other example.......... You get multiple interviewers across the organisation. I thought- the questions were repetitive after one point.
