I was contacted via an automated email (no hr contact prior) for a phone screen invite. Had a phone screen with the hiring manager, then a take home assignment, two on-site rounds with 8 employees, and then a last minute round with the GM. Overall the people were nice, but the interview to rejection process was so terrible I suspect they were only keeping me onto get information, not to genuinely assess me as a candidate. Be ware! The hiring manager stopped by to say hi at my second on-site, but strangely never had an in-person round with me. The last GM round was abruptly set up “needing to talk to me next morning” with no notice, only to ask me detailed product testing ideas which the initial rounds already covered. Although the recruiter was nice enough to call each week after the last interview, for 3-4 weeks, to inform me that I am still in the running, the reason for rejection was something they could have decided on before even the first phone screen. I also learned that they were interviewing a wide range of backgrounds (between 5 years and 30 years of experience) for the same role. I can only conclude that this company is only keeping certain candidates on the hook for information collection, and something isn’t right in their core company values.
