The company reached out via email. The interview was a video call with 3 engineers. It was relaxed and mostly guided by me asking questions about their roles and the company. They didn't respond with a rejection, so I followed up with the engineer a few weeks later to confirm the rejection. The work environment seemed friendly, and they were happy to share their experiences.

Behavioral Presentation

This interview process was really drawn out. It started with one call, then a video interview, followed by a lengthy 3-4 hour in-person session that included a tour. It took multiple calls and emails over two weeks to finally get a rejection email, which left me feeling like my time wasn't valued. During the in-person part, I talked to about six people, and four of them didn't even know what job I was interviewing for. The whole thing felt long and disorganized.

Behavioral Technical

It took a long time to get a response after applying. First, there was a phone screen, then an interview with the hiring manager, and then another interview with a different manager. The interviewers were pretty chill. They gave a good overview of the company, but didn't really go into much detail about the specifics of the position.

The interview itself was straight forward, with only 10 questions and they weren't too difficult. I was made to feel comfortable. Both Interviewers were also polite and considerate. The experience of the interview itself was positive. However, I never heard back from the company, despite contacting them on 3 occasions. Was told the first time that they were still interviewing candidates, but also saw the advert go back up online 3 times over the next 3 weeks from when I was interviewed. Contacted them another 2 times just for confirmation I was unsuccessful and still no response. Very disappointing from a large organisation such as this.
