Behavioral Presentation Case
I went through 3 rounds of interviews. The first was a one-way video recording, and the last was a case study and presentation round. I waited 2 months for feedback after the final round and heard nothing back. I then reached out to the recruiter/hiring manager who had been my point of contact throughout the process to ask for an update on a decision or any feedback I could use for future roles, but they ignored me. I liked the interview process itself, but I wasn't expecting to get no feedback after a final round interview.
