Technical Behavioral
I had two interviews for this role, each lasting over an hour. The first interview was more technical than the second. My overall experience with this company has been unprofessional. They promised a response within two weeks, but it's been over four months with no word. This isn't the first time; I interviewed for a Cloud Architect position previously, and the same thing happened – two interviews, a promise to reply, and then silence. I even told them I disliked their process, and a C-level person assured me it wouldn't happen again, but it did. It's incredibly disappointing, and I no longer trust them for work or consulting.
