Interview
The Pros:
The team I met during the on-site tour seemed friendly, and the office environment was impressive. The initial communication was prompt and professional.
The Cons:
The interview process requires a massive time commitment that was ultimately not respected. I was asked to complete a take-home assignment that took 3.5 days of intensive work. After presenting this to the team and being given a full office tour, I was promised a decision within 5 days "no matter what."
It has now been 5 weeks. Despite multiple polite follow-ups, the company has completely ghosted. It is disappointing to see a company solicit 28+ hours of free strategic work from a finalist and then fail to provide a simple status update.
Advice to Management:
Respect the candidate’s time as much as you expect them to respect yours. If you require multi-day assignments, you must commit to providing feedback or at least a final "yes/no" decision. Ghosting finalists after an office tour is a poor reflection of company culture and employer branding.

Interview
Too many interviews. They ask you about your experience but also want to get to know you. I did 5 to 6 interviews, too many if you ask me. You know very well if you want the role after.

Interview
The interview process felt quite disorganised. I was told to prepare for a standard interview, but was unexpectedly given a test on the spot with no prior indication. While I appreciate assessment tasks, clearer communication beforehand would have helped me prepare properly. Following the interview, I was informed I would hear back, but I did not receive any feedback or further communication, which was disappointing. Overall, the experience lacked transparency and candidate care.
