Candidate-reported interview process
Applied and got contacted by the Director of Recruiting a few days later. Had a recruiter screen then completed a sourcing project. Then had a panel interview where I reviewed the project with one interviewer and had a behavioral interview with the other. Got declined a week later.
The process was pretty tough, but it was a good experience overall. You end up having a bunch of interviews in one day and get to meet a lot of people from the company. The good thing is they also tell you why you didn't get the job.
Applied and got a quick follow-up from the Mgr. TA. Had a brief 30-min phone screen, then moved to a peer interview that ran a bit over 30 mins, maybe 45. Both interviewers were friendly and easy to talk to, felt comfortable. It's been two weeks now and still no word, even after a few follow-ups. I was expecting better candidate experience from fellow TA professionals. Hoping for some resolution, even a rejection. Ghosting needs to end.
