A recruitment process of several stages. Initial contact and screening by a friendly HR representative, followed by an interview with the hiring manager, and then followed by a take-home test assignment. That’s the furthest I made it, but I had been informed of two more stages, including a couple of interview panels and a final interview with the department director.

Overall, it was a good experience with good communication on the HR representative's side. However, the way the take-home assignment was framed as “not a pass or fail” procedure, but rather as a subject of conversation with the team about the choices and the process of working, was confusing. I received my rejection letter after my test submission without getting a chance to discuss it. In hindsight, I wished I had been more cautious about asking all the necessary questions and getting a clear understanding about the assignment and the form of deliverables.
