Interview
The process was initially rather smooth. Moved from round to round quickly. Had to prepare a case study for the last round which I presented and got positive feedback. The interviewer said it would take a couple of weeks until I would hear back.
Several weeks past and I heard nothing, after three weeks I reached out to the recruiter, no answer. Did this a couple of times more, no answer. Reached out to a different recruiter who looped in the hiring manager. At this point in time, the process took two months. The hiring manager got in touch with me and said they had a different position for me in mind. Turned out that position was a contractor role. After months of waiting, I did not accept this offer as it would have involved a lot of changes for my private life and I really wanted to be an employee and not an external worker. Overall I was disappointed. My assumption is that if I had not been so persistent in trying to get in touch with them I probably would have been ghosted.
Interviews were extremely positive, with a friendly and supportive tone across four team members and leaders. Unfortunately, after almost completing the full interview loop, I was completely ghosted with no follow-up or closure. This lack of communication felt unprofessional and disappointing given the time investment required and that I was working with a recruiter. Not a good look for their people culture.

Interview
The interview process is very lengthy compared to other places I have interviewed with. It is 4 parts and the first 2 people you speak with are a recruiter and HR where they basically ask similar questions. In my experience, the hiring managers for both roles acted so impressed with my experience, our conversation, and seemed genuinely interested in me possibly joining the team, to the extent they were going to skip the panel interview. But then I received a non-selection letter. I also interviewed for a role and got all the way through the process , for them to tell me they didn’t have permission to hire for the role right now but would be in touch. I have wasted so much of my time. It would be nice if they would tell you upfront and be honest if they don’t believe you are a good fit for what they are looking for, instead of making you think you may get offered the role.

Question 1
Questions regarding marketing strategies I have used.
Overall a good process. Recruiter keeps you informed along the way with next steps and easy-to-use schedule links. Initial call was phone, and then hiring manager interview was through video.
