Interview process started out great. I was contacted 3 days after submitting my resume to havr a call with HR. That call lasted 45 minutes and I had a great feeling from it. He even said he thought I might qualify for a Project Manager position instead of Jr. The next step was to complete a takehome assignment, which was sent the next day and I was told I had 48 hours to return it. Unfortunately the file I was sent wouldn't load correctly (something I see has happened to others before, based on Glassdoor reviews), and I asked the recruiter for help. It took 12 days of back and forth trying to get that file before the recruiter just asked me if I could do the best I could with a limited file (including a weeklong period where I heard nothing from him). Very unprofessional as I had to submit something that felt so incomplete. The hiring manager confirmed receipt of the assignment, but 3-4 days later I got a generic rejection. When I asked them for feedback because of the slow communication and delay, they said they had actually decided on candidates to move forward before receiving my application! So disappointing when I felt so qualified and excited for the role. What a waste of my time, and this could easily have been communicated with me.

Met with two people from the team. Young company with a cool technology, I could tell they were still scrappy and very much still figuring things out. The first person I spoke with was super lovely, the second not so much. They spent more time focusing on why I was leaving my current job than on actual competencies of the role itself.
