Process
The interview process appears to be very long.
It includes:
- Technical phone screen
- Hiring manager phone screen
- Four virtual on-site interviews
- Take-home assignment
- Reference check
Conducting a reference check without plans for an offer doesn't feel right. The process definitely needs restructuring to avoid wasting so much time.
