I had a great experience with both the recruiter and the hiring manager. The process felt organized, clear, and thoughtful. Unfortunately, that changed in the third round. After beginning the take-home assignment and investing a significant amount of time into it, I received a generic email stating the role had been filled before I could even schedule my presentation. I genuinely thought it was a mistake and had to follow up with the recruiter to confirm. The feedback I’d offer: if a decision is made mid-round, candidates deserve to be notified before investing time in an assignment and a slightly more personalized rejection goes a long way.

Met with the recruiter, Jason. He was so kind and helpful. He made the process so easy and kept me in the loop daily. Met with the hiring manager, had a take home test and presented.
