Colloquio
They dragged the onsite interviews for weeks. The whole onsite process took more than a month to end. You had to pass each round to move to the next one. Passed all rounds, despite crazy scheduling time (some interviews were setup at 8 pm my time). Got ghosted afterwards for weeks.
Once I got an offer from another company, I emailed the recruiter again. This time they got back and scheduled a call with hr. Got a rejection the day after. Funny thing was that I answered all questions completely. No idea why got rejected. Terrible hiring pipeline. They have no respect for candidate time and after dragging you for so long don't even bother to tell you why you got rejected despite doing great in the interviews.
