The interview process was very slow. In fact, by the end I realized that it was deliberately slow. The process took 2.5 months from the start.

I started by submitting a write-up to a Junior Recruiter. After passing through the hiring manager screening process, I was told about a phone interview with one of the team members. It went well, and I was given an online project which was very job-friendly. I had access to the elements a regular employee had and was asked to solve the project. The timeframe was one month, and even though I completed it earlier, it didn't seem to matter.

Then, half a month after the submission, I was scheduled for a code review, which was another half a month away. The code review also felt positive, in my opinion. I took my time and answered the questions slowly.

After another half month, the position was CANCELLED. They sent rejections to everyone. Bye bye.

In the end, it was a waste of time. However, the recruiter was the best part of the interview. I even sent him a profoundly respectful email, which he happily accepted and cherished.

PS: The recruiter also seemed bored in the end. There were more "Thank you for your patience" messages in the emails towards the end.
