Had a nice chat with the recruiter. It seems like a consulting gig where you're just a number. The hiring manager interview went fine. I also spoke with two colleagues, and that went well too. After that, I didn't hear anything back.

It was a 30 minutes phone chat, then an online assessment. After that, I had a 90 minutes virtual interview with 3 people. Each person had 30 minutes. First, a technical interview about QA Automation. Second, a consulting interview focusing on collaboration, communication, and mentorship. Lastly, an interview with the Director.

Behavioral Technical

I was contacted right after putting my resume up for the job and they asked me for a pre-screening interview. The recruiter was great, very informative, and upbeat. I had the phone interview about a week later. Two weeks after that, I went in for the face-to-face interview and did a timed test for the position. I was told the HR manager was on maternity leave, so I didn't get a timeframe for when I'd hear back. I emailed the recruiter but didn't get a response. A month later, I finally heard back via email saying they were still interested and wanted an update from me, and that they'd be in touch. It's been two months since we last talked, and I haven't heard anything or received a rejection. It's a bummer when they say they're interested and things go well, then silence for months. This company seems great if you get an offer, and the people I met didn't seem fake. Even areas where I wasn't an expert, they didn't give me a hard time. Maybe there isn't an open position, or they're waiting for the HR manager to come back, or for the new fiscal year. But because of the lack of communication, I've moved on and accepted another offer.
