CNET interview questions

Lengthy. A few initial phone calls, followed by a 4-5 hour block of interviews, and a half hour final interview. It took a few weeks and I had an offer 4 weeks after starting the process.

I had an initial 30 min call with a recruiter, then two interviews with those who would be my bosses. Then I got to enjoy silence for more than two weeks and since I was sick of chasing down the recruiter by that point, I checked in with one of the interviewers. The position had gone to an internal candidate after all. I quite liked the two people I'd have worked with; I did feel the recruiter often forgot about me and I'm not sure if that's because she's located elsewhere, or because she already knew the internal candidate would likely get it? In the end I felt burned out by the silence and process, as much as I think I'd have enjoyed working here. They do seem quite talented and great to boot.
