I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.

I went through several stages of the interview process:

• Recruiter call
• Hiring manager interview
• Take-home task (approximately 6 hours)
• System design interview
• Final call with the VP

Overall, the process was smooth, and I enjoyed speaking with everyone involved.

Before the call with the VP, the internal recruiter excitedly discussed a potential offer, which made me hopeful.

The call with the VP was pleasant, but we didn't delve deeply into my experience or leadership skills. I was enthusiastic about the role and the product, and I felt positive about my performance throughout all stages.

However, I was disappointed to receive a rejection on Monday, with the reason being other candidates had more relevant experience. Despite my request, I did not receive specific feedback to help me understand what went wrong or how I could improve.

I have ASD, which may have affected my communication during the VP call, making it especially important for me to receive constructive feedback.

Overall, while the process was professional and engaging, the lack of detailed feedback and the premature discussion of an offer were areas that could be improved.

Tell me the most challenging task that you have been working on in the last 6 months.
