Got referred by someone in the industry. The interview process was fast and simple. It was handled by business development people, not the HR department which is known for being slow.

About a week after I applied, HR reached out. We set up an initial screening interview where I got asked basic questions. Soon after, I was contacted about setting up interviews with the team I would be working with. Even though I had generally positive experiences, I'm leaving a negative review because I was ghosted. A couple of weeks after my second interview, I followed up with HR, and never heard back. A simple rejection email would have been fine.
