Candidate-reported interview process

It was a really systematic process, starting with an aptitude and psychometrics test, then two rounds of interviews. The HR team was great about keeping me updated the whole time. They did take a while to get the offer out, but otherwise, it was smooth sailing.

Started with a recruiter call, then talked to the hiring manager. After that, I had a team panel interview. Everything seemed to go pretty well up to this point. Then I had a final interview with the VP, which also felt like it went smoothly. They said they'd let me know about next steps after each interview, but I ended up getting ghosted.

The interview process was long and I wouldn't recommend it. They kept adding more people to the interview panel. It started with the Hiring Manager, then a Peer, then the Program Director, then the VP of Program, then the SVP of Engineering, and finally the CTO.
