Carrot Fertility interview questions

Echoing other recent review(s) that Carrot touts a noble mission but doesn't treat candidates with basic dignity. Over the span of 2.5 months, I went through all interview rounds for my role. Communication was minimal, and little/no context was given re: the format of each round (for a technical role, it’s typical to get a heads up about how technical each round is). At the end of the recruiter screen, they said they’d enjoyed our convo and would send a link to schedule the HM interview “in 30 minutes.” I still hadn’t received it the next week and emailed to follow up, receiving no response. I assumed they’d lost interest (or finalized another offer) and ghosted. But 3 weeks later, they resurrected out of nowhere with the scheduling link, without acknowledging my previous emails. I then proceeded through the rest of the rounds, including behavioral rounds, a take-home project, live coding, a prepared presentation, and a panel interview. Prior to some rounds, I emailed asking for basic clarification on the format + deliverable, but these emails were all ignored. After the final round, I was told the team would be deliberating and I’d receive an update on [date x]. I happened to receive a formal offer from another company at that point, so I let them know; that email never got a response. [Date x] came and went with no update. I emailed a few more times to follow up, emphasizing the response timeline my competing offer needed. No acknowledgement of either the existence of my offer or my emails themselves. Weeks later, I finally got a form rejection email (of course, I’d already accepted the other job). In the email, they said they understood the process had taken a lot of time and they’d be willing to get on a brief call to share feedback. I responded that I’d appreciate feedback, and unsurprisingly got no response. They did have the audacity to send me an email (+ another automated follow-up) asking for *my* feedback though. :) :) :) Btw >3 months after I sent in my application, the job post is still up. TL;DR: A comically bad interview experience. Lack of communication + respect towards candidates reflects internal team dynamics. Carrot is unserious about hiring and is losing qualified candidates to competitors.

Met with the recruiter via phone and was then invited to interview with two team members. Went well, the questions they asked were all expected and it had a very conversational feel.
