Passed their HackerRank online assessment – it was a very easy problem.

I had a phone screen with an engineer. He had a very thick accent, but I was given a straightforward (easy-medium difficulty) dynamic programming problem and a trivially easy second problem. I performed very well, reaching optimal solutions on both.

And then… radio silence!

No email about a timeline or updates arrived until nearly 2 months later. I received an email from another person from HR asking when I could schedule an interview with different engineering teams for what I believe was the virtual on-site interview. I politely declined at that point.

This was probably the most convoluted and unnecessarily painful for the candidate interview pipeline I have participated in.
