A recuirter sent me a message on Linkedin, afterwards a short phone interview which was full of noise and didn’t give me the feeling of a serious process. Second interview was with the SVP, 30 minutes on Zoom. Didn’t feel like the interviewer was focused on the interview and I didn’t get the full chance of presenting myself and my experience. Third step was home assignment - took few hours - and then presentation (1 hour). They asked to record the meeting so they will be able to share it with other team memebers. After the presentation they disappeared for a week (previous legs were every few days), I was needed to contact them and the recruiter said they will have an update probably in a day. The next day they didn’t get in touch and after 3 days called in the evening said the are sorry and decided to move forward with another candidate - no specific feedback on the presentation or other specific feedback. The ‘ghosting’ issue felt so unserious. Overall it felt like a not professional process, most of the people I had the chance to talk with didn’t feel focused on the process or gave me a good feeling.

Multiple rounds, starting with recruiter phone screening. Then interviewed with others on the team and ultimately to hiring manager. Everyone was very friendly. No trick questions, just free-flowing conversations. The team was very honest about the role, expectations, and work environment.
