I was told by a member of the talent acquisition team that the interview process consisted of the following stages:

1. Recruiter call with her
2. Hiring manager interview
3. Technical Assessment
4. Technical debrief and additional discussions
5. Final interview with manager During the process, at step 4, the hiring manager informed me that he would recommend me for the next steps, but there would be another technical assessment which could take a while and gave me the option to drop out of the process. Although, I saw this as a potential red flag, I expressed my genuine interest and agreed to proceed. The revised process would have been:
6. Recruiter Call
7. Hiring manager interview
8. Technical Assessment
9. Technical Debrief + more
10. Second technical Assessment
11. Presentation to manager However, I was subsequently ghosted. The whole process was about 2 months with at least a week gap before hearing back after each interview and 1-7 days to confirm the timing of the next. Please value the time of all candidates by being transparent and efficient in your hiring practices.

The topics included AWS, Linux, Redis, and general questions.
