The process was relatively manageable overall, but it suffered from a noticeable lack of interaction with the recruiter, which added unnecessary difficulty to the experience. Without direct support or regular updates from the recruiter, it felt harder to interpret expectations and navigate through the various stages. Having more consistent communication and guidance would have been beneficial, making the experience smoother, clearer, and perhaps less stressful. Effective engagement from the recruiter could have provided valuable insights and feedback, helping to alleviate uncertainty and improve the overall process.
