Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied through a recruiter. The process took two months.

It was a long process, mostly because of the Christmas break in the middle, but I felt well-informed and taken care of. At each step, interviewers were engaged and kind, helped whenever I got stuck, and we had really nice conversations. The take-home task was quite interesting, and the behavioral interview was very thorough, so it's better to prepare. I've got very good feedback from each step, and I guess I will try again once I address what I was lacking.
