The process took two months and I had 4 rounds of interviews, the last one being a presentation that I worked pretty diligently to prepare. After presenting to him and another person, I was told that I would hear back, latest, after the holidays. It was mid - December. It had been 3 weeks and the holidays were over, so I asked for an update. I was told that everyone was still "getting back into the swing of things", and then got ghosted after that. Fast forward to late February, I get a email from the hiring manager saying that he was impressed with my interview, and wanted me to come in an interview for the same position as another slot had opened up. I told him pretty directly that I did not appreciate being ghosted, and then contacted to come in for another interview after all the time & effort I had spent already. His response was that someone from HR was supposed to get into contact with me and inform me that they had went with the other candidate. We had been in direct communication with one another since the 3rd round (at his suggestion). This company taught not do presentations for potential employers. The lesson was worth it all, honestly.

After submitting my application I received an email to take an asynchronous video interview within the next 3 days. It was a little weird and almost didn't continue because of it. It ended up going well, questions were very straightforward. I was then invited to a 4 hour in-person interview. While the date was in the job description, I was only given one business day's notice that I was selected for it. Interviewed with 3 people and had a simple assessment. All went quite well and I thought I had it, with the exception of one person mentioning I appeared to be "overqualified." I followed up with a thank you note. HR rep quickly replied and said he'd get back with me as soon as a decision was made. Well, it's been over a month so I'm guessing this isn't going to happen. Please have the decency to communicate that to me after investing this much time.
