A very positive interview experience. Several stages from an initial screening discussion with a TA team member (to gauge suitability and experience) followed by a more role-focused/technical interview with the hiring manager and then with the immediate team. The last stage was a panel discussion with key stakeholders further to completing a take-home assignment. The whole process was done remotely and took about 5-6 weeks from initial engagement which is pretty reasonable. Scheduling and communication in between was easy and great. My main POC was super responsive and transparent which was refreshing. Throughout the process, everyone from the company acted professionally, demonstrated great enthusiasm for what they do and genuine interest in determining if I was a good fit and the vice versa.

I applied via a referral. About a week later, a recruiter reached out to me and we scheduled a screening call via Zoom a few days later. The recruiter I spoke with was very friendly and easy going. A few hours after the call, I was notified that I would be moving on to the next stage of the process, a task. The next day, I received the task. I turned in my task a few days later (after a holiday weekend). The recruiter let me know that she would get back to me as soon as she had an update. A week later, I had not heard anything, so I reached out to the recruiter to see if there was any news. I still did not hear anything back, so I reached out to my contact and then heard back from the recruiter very quickly. She let me know that she still did not have any updates, but I should hear more by the middle of the following week. The following Wednesday, I was notified that I would not be moving forward in the process. The initial email I received did not have much information, and appeared to be automated, so I reached out to the recruiter directly. She got back to me with some very informative feedback about how the process went on her side and was very forthcoming in her response. Most companies do not provide that kind of information, so I was very appreciative. Even though this did not work out, I do plan to keep an eye on their career page for further opportunities.
