The interview process was super long, 7 interviews and an assignment in total. I got to the final assignment stage, was giving the assignment that takes 2 to 3 hours started working on it because they told me I would be moving on to the final round. After 1 week and spending time on the assignment, the recruiter reached out saying they changed their minds and will not be moving forward because all of a sudden they think my experience wasn't good enough. If an employer has no respect of your time, and can't even stick to their decisions in the interview stage, imagine how bad it will be when you are an employee. I think I dodge a bullet here.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mural (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2022
Interview
Applied online, normal screening. Went through 3-4 interviews. Final step they say they only have availability for my use case presentation in 3 weeks. I agree. Proceeded to spend 10+ hours preparing the assignment. They follow up during the next weeks to check if everything was OK. 5 minutes before my presentation they send me a generic email saying they will not be considering me for the role anymore. No feedback on the materials I sent, nothing. This was the most disrespectful process I have ever been through. talking to a couple of friends they told me this company is pretty shady, they extend offers and they rescind it without any explanation, the recruiters are used to ghost candidates etc. I'm glad I dodged a bullet with these incompetents.
