Interview
I applied online in early October '21 and heard back within a week. There were four rounds including the initial recruiter screen. Before the final round, I was given an online personality/IQ test which was pretty interesting. It was about 5 weeks from submitting the application to receiving my final offer. In sum, it was an efficient and enjoyable process relative to other companies I've interviewed with.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Aquant (New York, NY) in Jul 2021
Interview
The interviews themselves were good, but the HR/organization side was not responsive.
I've needed to follow up with the HR person multiple times to get any response.
After going through 5 rounds of interviews, I never got communication about the outcome or next steps. I followed up a week after the last round and then one month after that - no response.
Followed-up for the third time 1.5 months after the last conversation and got the update that the company went with another candidate.
Although the answer was ok, and I actually got offer from my top choice company, the experience was just unacceptable.
After going through 5 rounds - it's fair to expect at least an update from HR or the team, especially after 3 follow-ups.
really bad aftertaste
