The whole process took 5 months.

They contacted me for the first time in one month since I've sent my resume.

Then they scheduled a phone interview with HR, after that they sent me a technical 90m test. It was a very time tight test.

After that I have two more phone interviews with leads from the studio.

All this time everything went really well but unfortunately they rejected me by phone after all those months and effort saying that I wasn't Sr enought. I feel really disappointed and frustrated about the whole process.

I would highly recommend to shorten the timeframe for the process in order to keep expectation low and to give more feedback during the interviews in order to have a more realistic view of the outcome and avoid wasting all this time.

It's important to say that I applied from another country from where this studio was located (Canada) and that I had an employee referral.

There were so many that I can't recall at this time.

But there were difficult technical interviews.
