75 days. 1 phone interview, 1 indvidual interview, 1 technical interview, 1 panel interview, 1 case interview, more than a dozen follow-ups, and countless hours of preparation for the second most difficult interview of my career. This is a mid-level management position. The people with whom I interviewed were nice, and my rejection letter was written directly by the hiring manager, which is much better than I've received on other rejections as of recent. It's well known that hiring times have increased, but 75 days is exorbitant. Considering the level of position, the amount of effort committed, it would be a lie to say I'm anything less than disappointed in the complete disregard to the human aspect of the hiring process. Even when proactive steps are taken (diligently applying for other jobs, continued networking, etc), it should not be expected that candidates should have to wait multiple months to determine whether or not they are going to able to keep their house. It's unprofessional to leave candidates hanging for such a long time, but it also suggests that the company is incapable of making decisions and my desire to apply for them again has completely vanished. I'm sure I'm not the only person who feels this way, but it also means Pluralsight severely limits their available talent pool as they continue this type of hiring practice.

The interview process began with an over the phone interview with an HR Representative. Next, it was followed up with an over the computer video conference interview. Lastly, it was an on-site interview with team members, along with a video conference with plural sight managers.
