Passed phone screen and also met with hiring manager on a Friday, he moved me to tech panel stage and advised it will be with 4 specific engineers. A week passes and I follow up, recruiter says they still figuring out who the panelists would be. Then finally comes back to me saying it'll first be a 1:1 with an engineer and I asked to clarify what happened to the panel. Recruiter then says, it'll be another 1:1, then a panel. This is not a Senior position so surprised that theres this many interviews and they haven't gotten this sorted.
