Entrevista
The interview process was initially very positive. I met all qualifications and received excellent feedback from both HR and the hiring manager. In the last interview I had, the hiring manager explicitly stated she wanted to move forward and confirmed she had zero hesitations about my fit for the role.
However, just days later, I received a generic automated rejection citing a need for "better-qualified" candidates. This massive disconnect between the interview feedback and the HR outcome, combined with the company’s recent leadership churn and aggressive financial targets, suggests significant internal instability or a sudden loss of role funding. While the team was professional during the talks, the lack of transparency regarding their hiring capacity is a major red flag. I’d advise future candidates to be wary of role stability here, especially given the company's history of layoffs.

First interview: HR
Second interview: hiring manager
Take home assignment
Third interview: role play
Fourth interview: panel
The interview process was thorough and the team seemed great. The take home assignments were typical to the types of scenarios that would come up in the role. The role play was for a renewal at risk.

Entrevista
The interview process consisted of 4 rounds: a behavioral style interview with the engineering director, 2 technical rounds focused on project experience and Leetcode, as well as a take-home as the final round.
Overall I really enjoyed speaking with my interviewers. They were all smart and passionate about their work, as well as empathetic. Definitely people I would've enjoyed having as co-workers.
Despite that, the interview process was a bit of a mess. They repeated the same questions during each technical round. Communication was sparse between rounds, sometimes a week or two would go by without any kind of follow-up.
The worst part was the lack of feedback. The final round is a non-trivial take home. After completing it, I received a generic rejection email with no insights into why (similar to other interviewees). Given how much time I invested into their interview process at this point, I would've expected some basic feedback.
Ultimately, the impression I got was that Appcues is a fine place to work with great people, but thats hidden behind a broken recruitment process. Like other reviewers have mentioned, my advice would be to improve the communication between the company and their candidates.
