The overall interview experience was significantly more frustrating than expected, mainly due to communication and process management issues. The process took close to two months from start to finish. While the initial interviews themselves were reasonable, scheduling and communication throughout the process were inconsistent. For example, before the first interview I asked about the interview format and never received a response. The final round interview was originally scheduled and then cancelled shortly afterwards due to panel availability. After that, the process became increasingly unclear, and most updates only came after repeated follow-ups from my side. I eventually completed a lengthy onsite final interview (around two hours with multiple interviewers) and was told that feedback would likely be provided within one week. However, after the interview there were no proactive updates, and I again had to follow up multiple times just to understand whether the process was still ongoing. I fully understand that hiring decisions take time and that companies may be interviewing multiple candidates. That is completely reasonable. However, clearer communication, more realistic timelines, and more proactive updates would have made a major difference to the candidate experience. The interviewers themselves were professional, but overall the process felt poorly coordinated and difficult to navigate as a candidate.
