While I was disappointed to not receive a job offer, this hiring process was beyond ridiculous. I initially applied to the role in early December 2024 and this process did not wrap up until March 2025. I went through the following process only to be rejected for the role: 1) An assessment on cognitive aptitude and employee personal profile 2) Interview with HR/Recruiting 3) Interview with Hiring Manager 4) Technical Interview where was assessed on SQL skills 5) Another meeting with HR/Recruiting 6) Practical Assessment/Case Study 7) Interview with CS Manager 8) Interview with VP 9) Interview with Sr. Team Member (culture-related conversation) 10) Interview with Hiring Manager (again) to present case study/assessment Not noted was the month-long hiatus that occurred between step 4 and 5. For those keeping score, this was 2 assessments and 8 interviews. While I was appreciative of the conversations that I had with the different members of the team (who were all incredibly nice), this many steps for an IC role is ridiculous. I firmly believe that the company is composed of fantastic people but if their hiring process was a massive red flag for me. Again, I didn’t receive the offer for the role, but I’m really thankful that I didn’t, as I can’t imagine how many layers of bureaucracy must exist to get anything accomplished internally if external hires are put through this many steps. If I can provide any piece of feedback to OMG, it would be to significantly reduce the volume of interviews needed to be considered for an opportunity, because this was ridiculous.
