Behavioral Other
The interview process involved a recruiter call, a hiring manager interview, and a panel interview with three peers, including a 2-on-1 and a 1-on-1 session. There was no portfolio or case study review. The total interview time was about 4 hours. The hiring manager and peers were described as open, smart, humble, and engaged. However, the process was very lengthy with poor communication on timelines and expectations. I applied on February 1st and by April 17th, I had declined the offer due to the excessive time it took. There were multiple instances where the recruiter missed promised follow-up deadlines. Miscommunication between EU and US teams about role expectations also occurred, with initial information about a US remote role being contradicted later. The handling of relocation assistance was unclear, with a sign-on bonus offered instead of global mobility support, and the recruiter became unresponsive after I requested this. Ultimately, it felt like the company did not value me as a candidate or present a serious offer, leading me to believe I was ghosted to avoid reneging on the offer. The salary for the EU role was competitive.
