The recruitment process contained 5 stages, i.e. HR screening, 1 assessment and 3 rounds of interviews with individual staff within the program. I completed 4 of the stages but was ghosted by the time for the last interview. All 3 interviews I had took roughly 1 hour and the assessment took way more than the 3 hours that they estimated (unpaid time). Overall, the process was unnecessarily lengthy and it would have been helpful if the interviews were just done a panel with all the respective recruitment team present.

First round: ~20 min call with HR to discuss my background in alignment with the role Second round: Technical/written assignment. Third round: Interview with the hiring/position’s manager Fourth round: Interview with another team member from a different office that had been in the same role as the position I applied. Rounds 1-3 took place over the course of a month. They didn’t contact me for an additional month for round 4 because they were pursuing the top candidate during that time. By the time I had my 4th interview, the other candidate officially accepted the offer.
