The interviews themselves are well structured. You start with an async take-home coding task, go through a sort of IQ test, and then have a series of live interviews including:

• A behavioral interview (mostly about principles and how you apply them in your daily work)
• A coding interview (quite simple)
• A design system interview

The interviewers were great, really kind and comfortable.

The real problem is organization and a complete lack of communication. After attending all interviews for over a month, I was informed by HR that I had passed them all and that they were looking for the final stage, which included destination team knowledge and a chat about salary, working modalities, and start date.

Basically, I was sure to be, if not in, at least 90% there.

HR then completely ghosted me. They disappeared for over two months and never replied to any of my multiple reminders, despite informing me that I had passed all interviews and was nearing the end of the process.

I have never felt so bad in a hiring process and don't understand why status updates aren't provided, especially considering how long and interview-intensive it is, requiring significant time investment.
