The recruiter reached out and scheduled an interview. Five minutes before the scheduled time, I receive an email asking to reschedule, to which I received no response and had to reach out twice on subsequent days to get a reply and rescheduled the interview. The interview was one of the worst I had experienced. The recruiter was disinterested and asked me nothing about my skills or experience; I doubt he even knew what the company's product was. I then received an automated email the next day, saying I wasn't being considered for the position, which wasn't surprising.

Process: Phone screen with the recruiter, in-depth phone conversation with the hiring manager, onsite interview with lunch and technical assessment along with 1:1s with marketing, design lead, product lead, co-founder, and head of engineering. The recruiter was very professional and coached me along the way. He helped me prepare for the onsite by describing what each interviewer would be focusing on and directed me to blog posts for technical prep. The team was very welcoming and engaging. Questions ranged from cultural fit to technical product implementation. The process was speedy - the whole thing took 2 weeks from the first phone call with the recruiter to the final decision.
