I applied on-line. Several months later a recruiter asked for some time to discuss the role. When the time came for the call the phone never rang. Called the recruiter: no answer. Emailed the recruiter, no response. After 2 days I sent a follow up email. The response: "Sorry for the confusion. I just learned we are moving forward with some other candidates we have in the mix.". No apology for not calling or not getting back to me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No questions were asked beyond what's a good time to call.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Prudential (New York, NY) in Mar 2022
Interview
7 rounds of interviews: 1 with recruiter, 1 with the hiring manager, 4 with hiring manager's peers & with HM's manager.
I interviewed for a technical role, however, most questions were behavior-based.
"tell me how...?"
It seems to be the trend these days as most companies have adopted this style of interview questions.

Question 1
HR is mandating that interviewer is asking behavior-type questions.
Most of them resemble Amazon style.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Prudential (Newark, NJ) in Oct 2021
Interview
LENGTHY! A couple panel interviews followed by a few one on one interviews with others on the team before a final interview with the hiring manager. Entire process took about two and a half months. This was followed by an exaggerated onboarding process.
2 rounds of interview with VP and a senior VP. HR vetted the candidates and follow up on short list. The time it took from interviews to starting at Prudential can be improved.
