I applied in May and was contacted by a recruiter exactly a month later. Then I went through all the rounds:
The process was long, and due to my interviewers being in various time zones, I had to move my schedule around a bit to accommodate and work my way through the process. I won't argue that I should have gotten an offer or that the process was unfair; just that it was slow and, in the end, I wasn't even notified if I was selected or not. I was essentially ghosted.
I find it frustrating that I can put so much effort into an interview process and not even receive a simple rejection email with some feedback.
Because the process was so long, I was able to work fully through the full interview process with several companies, and I found that Elastic was the worst with communication, which is a shame because I think it would be a pretty cool set of products to work on.
