The first interview was a 15-minute call with the hiring manager. After following up with an email, I then had a second longer interview with two members of the team. Both interviews felt like they went well. After following up the second interview with an email, I was told they were still assessing candidates. After that I was seemingly ghosted with no rejection or the opportunity to complete the rest of the hiring process. The rest of the hiring process would have included a task and final interview. The role was then posted again a couple of months later. After emailing, expressing my interest again in the role, I continued to be ghosted. This seems to be an increasing trend in the current job market.

The interview process started with a 15 minute call with the recruiter who gave me a good overview of different areas of the business and went over the role and asked basic questions such as career history and motivations. Within a few days I received an interview request. I then was invited for a Teams interview with two people from the intelligence team, the interview was quite casual and made me feel less nervous. The process was positive, even though I didn't make it to the next round due to lack of experience I would still apply in the future.
