The initial Slack screen went well, and the interviewing person was professional and courteous. After that, they gave me a WordPress plugin to fix/improve, which I did, and the person who reviewed it was also a pleasure to work with. The next step was the trial project.

I was told to wait for approval before merging any pull requests. I created a pull request for a piece of functionality and pinged the person who was supposed to review it (a different person from the above two). Unfortunately, he disappeared for a month without telling me he was going to be gone or where he was going. No responses were given to my messages.

When he came back, he finally reviewed my pull request but at the same time told me he was prematurely ending my trial project, mainly because I wasn't "proactive" enough.

The overall timeline:

• September 26: Initial application
• October 18: Invite to Slack screen
• October 22: Slack screen
• November 1: Plugin coding test
• November 4: Plugin submitted (this was followed with some back-and-forth with the reviewer which lasted over a week)
• November 19: Invite to trial project
• November 27: Trial project begins
• December 5: Trial point of contact goes MIA
• January 3: Trial point of contact reappears and ends the project
