Yes — I'd emphasize the stress caused by going silent after the final interviews, while keeping everything factual so the review carries more weight:

Interview experience

The interview process took close to a month from the initial recruiter call through the final decision and involved multiple rounds.

The most frustrating part was the communication after completing the interviews. Communication was fairly consistent during the earlier stages, but toward the end of the process it essentially went silent. I was given a specific timeline for when I should expect a decision, but that timeline passed without an update.

After investing a significant amount of time preparing for and completing multiple rounds, being left without an update was unnecessarily stressful. Candidates are already dealing with uncertainty after a final interview, and going silent after providing an expected decision timeline makes that experience considerably worse.

I eventually had to follow up myself and received the rejection afterward. The rejection itself is part of interviewing and wasn't my issue — the lack of timely communication and having to chase for an outcome was the disappointing part.

Candidates considering interviewing with Braze should be prepared for a potentially lengthy process and for communication to slow down significantly toward the final decision. I would strongly recommend not putting other interview processes or opportunities on hold while waiting for Braze, even if you're given a specific timeline for a decision.

For the amount of time candidates are expected to invest in the process, timely and transparent communication should be a basic part of the candidate experience.
