Received an automated email sent on behalf of a recruiter asking me to take an online assessment for a role I'd applied for. The test was 100% online, administered by a company called Cubiks. It asked extremely simple questions in a very time-intensive format and auto-generated results including "tips" for self-development. The fact that this was sent for a managerial level position shows the company is inundated with applications and doesn't have a good way of sorting through them; no manager should be tested on the speed with which they can do simple equations (at a rate of 4/minute?) in order to assess their suitability for the job.

3 rounds. Phone screen with recruiter, convo with hiring manager, final round was 3 additional conversations with the team. Questions centered on previous experience, working with data, product strategy, etc.
It was good, for the period while it lasted. The main kicker though, was that they closed the role right in the middle of my interview process without communicating why.
Structured and professional. Assessments were tough but fair, making sure you could translate needs into features which drive product roadmaps and established milestones to measure against. Recruiters were flighty and like any big company they rely on their brand to have you want them
