I applied through the careers page and the whole thing took about 3 months from application to getting a verbal offer. There were some hiccups with scheduling because the interviewers were really busy, but it was a pretty good experience and everyone was nice and professional.

Technical Behavioral
I’ve had two interviews so far: an initial screening with the hiring manager, then more of a technical assessment in the next round. Both interviews were well structured, but I’ve had no feedback after either round and the only correspondence I’ve had outside the interviews seems fully automated. I’ve sent two emails to the recruitment team since but haven’t had any response to either, and I have no idea whether I’m still actively in the process - my last interview was over two weeks ago and I’ve heard nothing back. I wonder if there are internal issues causing delays to the process, but some form of communication/ feedback from the recruitment team would be appreciated.

This was a huge waste of time and totally chaotic. After the first interview, I got invited to a second round with the hiring manager. However, they didn't show up and didn't cancel. HR rescheduled it after I followed up. Then, a day later, I got an automated email from a different HR person saying my CV was reviewed again and I don't match the position, and all interviews would be cancelled. Since it was impersonal and from a different account, I messaged the recruiter who rescheduled to confirm. No reply, and no calendar cancellation either. I should be paid for the time wasted in this company's chaotic recruitment process.
