Entretien
Several rounds of interviews, including with HR, the hiring manager, team members, and a “final round” interview. The interviews were dynamic and varied, and questions/responses were thoughtful. Going through the process does take time and energy, but there was clear and helpful communication about what to expect or do at each step. Also, everyone I talked to seemed to care about the issues/work, so regardless, it was a set of good conversations. Positive experience overall.

Question 1
Can you tell me about the proudest moment in your career? How about when you had to navigate a tough situation?
Screening interview with in-house recruiter, followed by separate virtual interviews with two hiring managers. Emphasis on past experience and vision for the role, which was new to the organization. Recruiter was extremely communicative throughout the process and I was kept informed of my status in a timely manner.

Started with a lightweight recruiter screen then a hiring manager interview. Then heard nothing for weeks only to get an automated rejection email. Common courtesy, once candidates have given multiple rounds of their time, should be to at least send a one sentence rejection from the recruiter.
Seem to really want a very specific background for candidates.

My experience with the interview process was quite disappointing, particularly due to the lack of communication. After the first interview, which seemed to go well, I was promised that I would receive options for the next set of interviews within a week. However, I heard nothing for two months. Eventually, I received a message stating, "As you may have surmised from the delay in updates, we have moved forward with other candidates for this role." Anyway, you will see that I am not the only one here.
