Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Meeting with Recruiter, Code Challenge, 4 Interviews.

That's where I got cut.

Though I'm a little bitter about the rejection, it was still somewhat entertaining, and everyone was friendly.

It's clear they put a lot of effort into their process. It's still a painful process as a candidate.

Some feedback would be nice.

I'm still putting this as a positive because I really did enjoy the interviews, even though I was pretty crushed by being rejected in the end.
