I received a screening interview roughly two weeks after applying. The screening interview was over Zoom and more or less standard, typical walking through your resume, why you applied to the position, etc. The recruiter was very nice and conversational. I was asked to complete an SQL and Excel take home assessment after the screening interview that was fairly straightforward. After the assessment, I moved onto a 30 minute Zoom interview with the hiring manager where they described the role more in depth and asked questions mainly related to how my past work experience might carry over into the role. About a week after the screening interview, I received a phone call telling me I was being moved forward to the final round (four 45 minute interviews) and that I would get more details the following week. After this, I was pretty much ghosted. No details came the following week and after two emails each sent a week a part, I finally received an email from the initial recruiter letting me know that every job opening was undergoing review, but that I would get an update in a few days. That update never came and a week after that, I sent a final follow up email that never got a response. The interview process itself was efficient, timely, and everyone I interacted with was friendly, but it seemed like once there was bad news to deliver, they just stopped responding. I understand that sometimes a job gets cut halfway through the interview process or that other problems might come up, but I think it's important that candidates are kept in the loop. It would've sucked to get bad news, but to be that far along in the process and getting hit with radio silence for what's been like two months now was a little upsetting. It was a constant mental dilemma of "do I send another email or would that seem like I'm badgering them?" Again, the actual interviews and the people in them were great, but for the lack of communication after they had been lightening fast at the onset, I would give the overall process a neutral rating, leaning negative. That being said, my application is still open and if I do end up moving forward, I'll edit this post.

Round interviews of one hour each spread out over 5 people, some of them will be on the phone and some in person. They do buy you lunch since you'll be there all day. The interview format is conversational and informal. But it can take 5-6 hours so plan for a long day.
