Process

Applied online.

I received multiple emails from the recruiter. I filled out the questionnaire and set up my two back-to-back technical phone screen interviews. We established a Google Doc for each of my interviews, and the process was very smooth.

After a week, I received another email from my recruiter to set up my third technical phone screen interview.

After another week, I received a phone call and an email from my recruiter stating that I didn't make it.

Honestly, I thought I did pretty well on my interviews and was surprised that I was cut.
