Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I completed the initial coding interview, which went well. I then moved on to the "Growth Path" interview. After that interview, I didn't hear back for weeks, so I assumed they had ghosted me.

However, three weeks later, they contacted me to schedule a "Life Story" interview. When I checked the interview process tracker, it appeared the "Growth Path" interview had been replaced by the "Life Story" interview.

So, three weeks later, they were essentially asking me to interview for the same round a second time, just under a different name. They also didn't have availability for this interview until a few weeks out.

I haven't received an offer or rejection yet, but it seems the process will take months to reach the final rounds.

Overall, this makes their interview and recruiting process seem quite unorganized and unprofessional.
