I was referred to this role so did not do the typical application process, but I was frustrated with the very long, drawn out interview process. I had heard great things about the company and I was extremely qualified for the role (I have spent five years in software Customer Success), so was excited at first. The first red flag might have been that I was told the company has grown to almost 150 people, yet just in the past month or so have they put in place a real hiring process. I get "moving fast" at startups, but that seems a bit extreme. Unfortunately, the hiring process they did put in place was not necessarily rigorous, but took quite a bit of my time. Two phone calls, a basic reading/math skills online test (?), a writing test in the form of an essay, a pitch deck and presentation, and then two separate behavioral interviews. The behavioral interviews didn't even really address my skillset and experience, and were more geared towards how I work with other people (important, but odd to include without the other). The whole process took a few days shy of two months. I tried to be very accommodating and understanding because I know everyone is transitioning to working remotely, but this just seemed a bit excessive. After hearing nothing for almost a week after the last interview, I followed up twice only to receive an email at 11pm that they went with another candidate. After reaching out for more pointed feedback, radio silence. I had put in so much time during the process, that it felt disrespectful to not even proactively tell me I did not get the position. Additionally, I never felt that I truly had an opportunity to explain how I would excel in the role.
