The interview process was similar to past ones all but the recorded sessions and references so early in the process. While putting aside unusual interview practices it wasn’t worth the level of commitment and time invested. Process included multiple zoom meetings over the course of a few weeks which JW as okay about and had a good time meeting the team however the last meeting for what it seems ultimately determined the outcome of my candidacy. Up until the last interview meeting things seemed to go really great but no idea on why the hiring manager passed. I reached multiple times and never got an answer on why I wasn’t made an offer considering I wasn’t paid for my design exercise and time. The least they can do is pay me for the design exercise and not just leave me stranded with questions.

Three steps: recruiter screening, management review, case study presentation. The presentation step involved a specified format and a panel, but not everyone invited showed up. The panel had very few questions. One attendee seemed more annoyed to be there than anything else. As a professional struggling with overtime, this felt like a disrespectful waste of time.
