Process

The recruiter called to check if I was interested in interviewing with them.

I completed the online assessment.

Then, the first onsite interview was arranged for 2 hours. Everybody was very friendly and helpful. The interview went very well, but I still received a rejection.

I don't know what they are looking for.
