Phone screen with the recruiter, then a hiring manager, then a final virtual interview with the team. Took about 2 months in total. I couldn't get the recruiter to answer any questions via email, and at the final interview, I was asked about things that were not mentioned in the job description or requirements, People seemed nice, but overall experience was not the best, wish it was more transparent from the beginning.
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are sorry to hear that you had this experience. We try our best to provide a positive candidate experience and will consider this feedback as we move forward and grow.
well structured, formated. Expectation was set with the first question for the complete process. Mostly they test on behaviour part rather than technical. Some technical is also included in the interview.
