The role I had applied for was for a new team being formed internally, but was at the same tier as Senior Analyst. I had heard great things about GitLab which is why I decided to apply and go through the recruiting process. I was pretty content with the initial interview process and was really loving the conversations I had with the whole team. I went through about ~6 video calls and got a response 2 weeks after saying some restructuring had happened, and they would have to pause recruiting for the role, but that if the budget had been available I would've most likely gotten an offer. This was disappointing to learn, though the recruiter offered to prioritize me for any other role I was interested in. I thought that was still a pretty good situation to be in, and was told another recruiter in charge of the new role I was interested in would be reaching out shortly. Another 2 weeks passed and I didn't get a response. I took another look at the job board and noticed that the new role I was waiting to hear back about had been filled, so I definitely was not prioritized in the process. I understand recruiting can be a very time consuming matter, but I'm severely disappointed that they failed to communicate with me about this at all. I also noticed the role I had initially applied for (Senior Analyst) had been re-posted, and I still have not heard back about this either. I will sadly have to pass up engaging with this talent process any further, as I have other opportunities cropping up and can't afford to wait any longer. I hope the GitLab recruiting process can be more respectful of applicants' time, especially after I put about a month of time into the process and set time aside to prioritize meeting the team.
