I did 4 partner interviews over a period of 6 weeks, only for them to suddenly ask me to do an assessment. They kept dragging out the time before they sent me the assessment, and then decided not to hire me. Found out from the recruiter that they hired the daughter of a friend of a partner instead - who had been interviewed, offered and accepted in the two weeks they’d been delaying on sending me the assessment. Nepotism always wins it seems.
