The first 2 stages of the interview process were great, a typical phone screen and then a video interview with the hiring manager and another team member. The third stage was a case study which was 2 mock phone calls followed by a mock email. I did extensive research and thought I had nailed it - until the interviewer started throwing out random, product-specific questions that I couldn't possibly know the answer to unless I worked for the company. At the end of the interview they gave me feedback - all of which was positive + 1 minor piece of constructive feedback. Got a rejection email 3 days later with no information or feedback as to why until I inquired. As suggested in my rejection email, I ended up applying for a slightly lower role about a month later and was sent an almost immediate rejection email. Overall the experience was really disappointing and confusing. I've been on both ends of case studies - interviewer and interviewee - and have never encountered such a hard case study that sets you up to fail.

The recruiter call was seemless and I thought the team call was great too but I didn't get the job. I asked for feedback and I was given - which is great
