Candidate-reported interview process

The process starts with a technical writing piece, easy to answer. The response time from the hiring team, however, was ridiculous - it took over a month to get an email back, and that was only after sending a follow-up email.

The first round was a data analysis assignment, which was pretty easy. But it took ages to get a response after I sent it in. The whole process seems really disorganized and slow.

It was ridiculous. They had two interviews, one was a technical assessment and the other was a logic/stats assessment plus an interview with three different people. It took them over six months to get back to me and all they did was keep sending the same text over and over when I followed up.
