The interview process started off great with good communication and was easy. However, it ended with being ghosted. I was feeling optimistic about the role and thought I was connecting with the team, but being ghosted made the whole experience terrible.

The interview was pretty chill and not stressful at all. I got to chat about how much I love cooking and we walked around the kitchen. It was a good time, and I'd suggest it if you're into cooking.

Behavioral Technical

There were a lot of interview rounds where I met with different people from the company who I might be working with. It was a bit annoying because I think they should have had me meet with the core team I'd be working with, and if it wasn't going to be a good fit, they should have saved everyone time by not having me meet with a bunch of other people I'd barely interact with.
