For a small company, they have a complex and time consuming process designed to make it feel like they are big 4 when it's the opposite. The interview was supposed to be 7 step process: 1. Intro w/ HR 2. Skills and experience assessment w/ HR 3. Cultural fit w/ HR 4. Skills and experience assessment detailed 5. Behavioral tests - onsite 6. Panel interview - onsite 7. Final discussions

I had a round 1 interview with HR and was asked the standard “tell us about yourself” questions. A follow-up interview was scheduled two weeks later with the same HR worker. Many of the questions were the same. I was then told that I would hear back after the holidays (~2 weeks.) I reached out after 3 weeks of no contact and was told that the HR employee was no longer a team member and that they were pursuing other candidates. Many aspects of the company sounded excellent, but it was very concerning to hear the work/life balance described.
