Unusually long and slow for a Bay Area company. ~10 weeks: 4 rounds:
> 30 min HR screen,
> 1 hour resume/behavioral w/ senior IC
> 6-hour cross functional panel interview & portfolio prez,
> 1 hour w/ junior IC)
Poor communication throughout regarding next steps, response time— even the job description turned out to have been written in a way that misrepresented the job. Not unusual for descriptions to be a bit off/vague, but the fact the hiring manager did not participate in any of the 4 rounds probably didn’t help. Every IC seemed to have a different idea and HR had zero insight.
And after all that the recruiter ghosted me! Really seemed like team did not know what or who they were looking for and all had different opinions.
Entire team seemed somewhat hostile and low energy on interview calls. Very disappointing overall.
