Having now interviewed as an external and internal candidate I can say that these are not the same interview process, which I understand, but these were drastically different for the role of equivalent pay grade. As an external: 1 phone interview with HR 30 minutes 1 interview with management (3 pay grades above role) 1 hour 1 presentation to senior management (5 pay grades above role) with Q+A followed by interview with team seniors (2 pay grades above role) 90 minutes For internal: 1 interview with team seniors. 1 hour.
