Process
I received some HackerRank questions with 90 minutes to complete them. They were a bit on the tougher side, but I was able to give good answers.
I didn't hear anything back for over a month, then received an email for a follow-up. I had back-to-back technical interviews with a shared editor, both of which said that I did great. That was roughly two months ago.
Either they have a trend of waiting a long time between interviews, or they ghosted me. Either way, it's pretty frustrating.
Judging by the other reviews, this is extremely common.
