Candidate-reported interview process

Recruiters were great. Had a technical interview with Karat, but the interviewer was a bit difficult to understand. The format was good, though I would have preferred an ActBlue employee to conduct it. Was ghosted after following up.

They asked me some simple behavioral questions about my past experiences and projects. They wanted to know about my previous work, the projects I've been involved in, and my motivation for wanting to work at the company.

The whole thing took almost 4 months, though the holidays slowed things down a bit. There was a 3-hour take-home test and then about 5 hours of interviews. I got a form rejection from a no-reply email in the end. After all the work I put in, the impersonal way they dismissed me really bugged me. Everyone was nice, but it all moved super slow and some questions seemed repetitive.
