The interview process was absolutely tedious mainly due to the talent acquisition/senior recruiter's ineptitude. The process seemed like an efficient one when I received a set of screening questions three days after my online application. However, what followed was a barrage of un-replied emails and several phone calls. At some point, it looked like the designated recruiter (from the company) had no idea what role she was recruiting for as I received an auto-rejection email about the same time I was scheduled for a virtual interview with prospective team members. The interview itself went well and I was informed of the next steps. What followed this was radio silence. I only got an update when I called the recruiter three weeks later and as expected, I wasn't shortlisted for the role. Companies like this need to do better; it is obvious that their recruitment processes are broken. Candidates expend their time and other resources in applying for roles and preparing for interviews.
