The interview process was a bit stop and start. It took a long time to hear back after I applied. Then, things moved quickly, and I had a screening call one week, an interview the next, and then nothing for months. I thought I hadn't gotten the job, but then I got an offer. Overall, the interview process was good. They had panels of experts who asked questions related to the job knowledge, processes, and how I think.

Applied online, had a phone screening with HR recruiter about a week after submitting the application. Fairly standard questions were asked. Was told I should know something in about half a week at the most, then crickets. Emailed the recruiter directly, who never responded. TNC, this is not a good look. You have a system in place that should be able to email all applicants and tell them someone else was chosen, there's been a delay, the position has been closed, etc. No excuse for ghosting people like this in 2024.

They were fast. Reviewed my resume and contacted me in less than 3 days. Scheduled a call, and the conversation was purely by phone. I think it was just a filter to see who would actually go to the interview. The person in charge was friendly and direct. I didn't proceed to the interview phase and didn't get feedback after the call. Despite that, the experience was okay and matched the job posting.
