This was a terribly disappointing and disrespectful interview process. The whole process took about 3 months, 7 if you include the months where they ghosted me (as the "leaders in global communications"). Took three months of active interviewing. I met with a recruiter who sold me on Zoom, the culture, and the people. I then met with the hiring manager who moved me to the final round. Final round interview was a set of 2 technical interviews with fellow developer advocates After the final interview I followed up with the recruiter. Nothing. Follow up again, also nothing. I finally reach out to the hiring manager, and again, nothing. I spend about a month following up and hear nothing. 5 months go by and I finally get a generic email telling me they've found another candidate. After taking 3 months of my time to interview with them, a simple follow up email doesn't seem to be asking for much. Do better, Zoom. Respect your candidates. Respect their time. Respect their efforts. Practice the values you preach.

Long delays in communication with recruiters and coordinators. Didn't really know what the process was going to entail and could have been prepared better. There were multiple people involved in my scheduling and messaging with me, so it often took way longer than normal to get updates.
