Applied in early February. On February 17th I received a calendar invite for February 19th. Two days notice, zero context: no information about who I'd be speaking with or what the interview would cover. Turns out it was the first screening call with the hiring manager. 🔶The call on February 23rd went fine. At the end of it I was told next steps would happen by end of March. Not "sometime in spring", end of March was explicitly communicated. 🔶Then on March 4th - just 9 days later - HR emails me to say the hiring manager is on vacation and everything is pushed to the first week of April. So the timeline slipped by at least two weeks before I even had a chance to blink, and "first week of April" already sounded optimistic. 🔶Then on March 18th, with April approaching, the same HR person writes asking to schedule a "quick HR chat." A month after my first interview. This call - which apparently every candidate must have - was never scheduled as part of the process. Instead of being the first step, it was offered as a way to "fill the gap" while waiting for the manager to return. That tells you everything about how structured this hiring process is. 🔶I withdrew my application. The timeline kept shifting, basic process steps were inserted ad hoc, and communication was consistently reactive rather than proactive. If you have other options or any time pressure, don't count on this process moving predictably.
