I was first contacted for an interview for the role. After the HR interview, the company did not give me any updates. When I asked, they said the position was on hold. But the interviewer was nice, the questions about my background were normal, and the chat about the job and the company went fine.

I applied for a data analyst position. I had a recruiter call first, then an in-person interview with 3 separate interviews, each lasting 30 minutes. The total interview time was about 2 hours, not including the office tour. I felt like they asked me the same questions multiple times. After that, I spoke with the CEO or VP over ZOOM because I couldn't make it to the office. Then I had another interview with the VP or CEO because someone else couldn't make it. He told me I wouldn't be getting the data analyst role but was being offered the data acquisition role instead. He didn't have the job description, which was a red flag for me. The next day, the recruiter called about the position change and I asked her to email me the job description. The day after that, I got a call from someone on the team, and I asked him for the job description as well. A few days later, I finally received the job description and offer letter. They only gave me a week to decide, and I needed more time due to final exams, so I declined. I noticed communication issues, but the company culture seemed good.

Applied and then got an email from the recruiter the next day to set up an initial screening. After the initial screening, they said I could talk to the hiring manager in a few days. My schedule didn't allow it, but I gave them some dates for the following week that would work. About two months later, I got an email saying they were looking at other candidates. It was really poor engagement and communication. Pretty standard for a startup until they get bought by a bigger company with better processes.

The interview included a technical test, but it wasn't overly difficult or filled with those typical, unnecessary programming questions. From my perspective, they seemed more focused on assessing cultural and psychological compatibility. The process moved quickly and communication was clear. I had conversations with HR, the CTO, and several panels composed of senior team members.
