It took almost four weeks. The first interview was with the hiring manager, followed by an interview with the Director of Product. I answered all the questions, but in the end, I was rejected due to a lack of domain-specific experience. If that was a key requirement, it should have been assessed before moving a candidate through such a lengthy process. If I wasn’t considered a fit for the role, I likely wouldn’t have applied in the first place. The interview process was long, and it was disappointing to see domain experience become the deciding factor only at the final stage. Companies should be clear from the start about what they need, what they are looking for, and the compensation they are willing to offer before putting candidates through multiple interview rounds.
