I want to preface by saying the people we friendly, but I had to push the process every step of the way. Also, there's a weeklong take home project, but we never spoke about this after I finished it. I put a lot of effort into it, so it was irritating. Setup phone screen on 07/08/21 Spoke with the hiring manager Did a week long take home project Panel interview (note: we did not talk about the take home project at all despite my trying to mention it a few times. Rejection email on 08/26/21 Between each step, I would give it about a week, email, and then we'd setup another meeting. Conclusion: The people were great and I felt like we were on the same page. The interview process left a lot to be desired. Ignoring the effort put into the project and the lack of communication were huge red flags.
