The interview process included a chat with the hiring manager, followed by system design, values, and leadership interviews, plus a presentation of past work.
I heard everything went great, but I didn't get the role anyway and was placed into some kind of pool to be considered for other positions.
Several months later, a hiring manager reached out with a new role. I assumed I was matched from the existing pool, but it may have been an independent, passive reach-out, as the new recruiter was not aware of the previous process.
Although I had already interviewed, I ensured the two recruiters were connected. Despite having an exploding offer, they made me repeat the same interview loop with the same problems, which the interviewers told me I aced again.
The same outcome occurred, and I am once again in this nebulous candidate pool, waiting to be selected by a hiring manager.
It seems there is some kind of post-interview selection process that requires a significant amount of luck to get a job here, or perhaps they are not serious about hiring.
Performance in the interviews alone does not appear to be sufficient.
I came away from the first experience feeling positive about the company, but after the second, I felt very disrespected, especially after turning down a good offer to go through this process.
