I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ramp (New York, NY) in Nov 2021
Interview
My interview process lasted 3 weeks. I had my first interview with a manager and they were very nice and explained the role to me. They mentioned at the end that they liked my experience and felt like I would be a good fit. I didn't hear back for ~7 days. In fact 10 mins after I sent my second follow-up email, the recruiter emailed me back asking for a second interview. The second interview happened a day after that. I met with someone on the product team that read about 25 questions off of his screen for 42 mins. No conversation back and forth. Left only 3 mins at the end for me to ask any questions. Very poorly designed interview.
I sent a follow-up email thanking them for their time after the interview, no response. I then in the matter of a week sent two more follow-ups asking for the next steps or even a timeline of when I would hear back. It wasn't until 7 days later that they responded saying I did not have the skill set to proceed to the next round of interviews.
It was a very negative experience on my end. The recruiters did not even have a screening interview. If you did not think I had the skill set for the role, why did you have me go through two rounds of interviews? Maybe you should think about revamping your interview process to make it more effective for your company so you don't waste your efforts and in return, it will create a better experience for potential employees.
