I applied online. The process took 3 months.
Applied late December 2025, and interviews began in January. I was told upfront the process would take 2 weeks across 5 rounds. It took 3 months. Scheduling was unreliable throughout. Interviews were cancelled or rescheduled at the last minute on multiple occasions. Between rounds, HR would go silent for extended periods, sometimes not responding to follow-up emails at all, then resurface with "we really like you, we're so sorry" before repeating the same pattern on the next round.
I made it to a 5th and final round with an SVP. After that interview, I heard nothing for 5 weeks. Eventually, I received a brief message that the role had been cancelled. The interviewers themselves were engaged, and the conversations were solid. The overall candidate experience, however, didn't match that. Long delays, repeated last-minute changes, and long stretches of no communication made the process feel disorganized from the recruiting and HR side.
