Candidate-reported interview process

The interview process involved rounds with the recruiter, a peer panel, and the hiring manager. They asked standard behavioral and process-related questions. Unfortunately, the hiring manager and recruiter went silent after the third interview, which was quite disappointing.

First, you'll have a virtual chat with the recruiter. They'll ask stuff like, "walk me through your resume, why do you think you would be best suited for this role". After that, you gotta do a behavioral and cognitive test before they set up the interview with the hiring manager.

It was a multi-stage interview process, with most interviews involving a single interviewer, though a couple had two. In total, I had 5 interviews. The questions focused on my background, experience, and hypothetical situations. Communication was really bad though, I didn't hear back for weeks and there was no follow-up. The company never updated me on my status after my last interview, and it's been 1.5 months. They basically ghosted me after I put in hours of prep and met with 6 people over 3 weeks. Very unprofessional.
