I was contacted on linked by a Gitlab recruiter. Had a zoom call and was told that I was almost exactly what they were looking for. He explained there would be 3 or 4 more interviews and the total process could take 3 weeks or more. (Due to scheduling and and a distributed work force, made sense.) He said he’d reach out in 24/48 hours. I sent a ty email a day after. 6 days later I messaged him on LinkedIn to see if more info was needed, no response. 10 days later I thanked him for his time and wished him luck on filling the role. To be ghosted by a company of this size and reputation was shocking to me. Especially after how well (I thought) the initial call went. Be better Gitlab.

Fine. Not overly hard. Did end up taking a very long time. Moved quickly then they took forever to make an offer. Their cash comp offer was much lower than I expected.
