The interview process was very thorough and involved several conversations with different members of the team. I appreciated the time invested by the people I met, and the discussions were generally thoughtful, professional, and engaging. I also gained a positive impression of the product culture and the level of expertise within the company. However, the overall process lasted almost three months, which felt exceptionally long. What was initially presented as a structured process also expanded along the way, with a second case study being added unexpectedly. In addition, feedback or next steps often took around two weeks after each interview stage. This made the process feel drawn out and created considerable uncertainty about where I stood and when a final decision could realistically be expected. More transparency around the number of stages, possible changes to the process, timelines, and delays would have made the experience significantly better, especially for candidates managing other opportunities in parallel. Ultimately, I was informed that another candidate had been selected. The message was respectful, and detailed feedback was offered, which I appreciated. I would recommend that the company make future processes shorter, more predictable, and more transparent throughout.
