Long gaps between stages. Recruiter very good, but stages after this point were lacking structure and knowledge from the interviewer. There was a screening call and then 3 further stages, with plenty of calls from the recruiter in between

I interviewed with a lot of people which showed me that they cared about hiring the right people that fit their culture. The interviews we with people I would work with on my team as well as in different organizations.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Medidata Solutions (New York, NY) in Jun 2022
Interview
Initial screening interview. The recruiter was late to the call.
Proceeded by 5 (yes 5) 30-45 video interviews of different team members. Probably should have been a 1 hour panel interview, as similar questions were asked each time. Not challenging questions, the team seemed genuinely great. It was tiring to review my resume in quick detail 6 different times though.
After a week of silence, I followed up with the recruiter... Who answered another week later that the position was on pause. Felt like a ton of time wasted on both sides for a position that was eliminated so deep into the interview process.
A month later I received two formal automated rejections for the role. Ok cool.
