I applied through Linked in and went through the following stages with excellent feedback: 1. Global R&D manager call 2. Call with hiring manager 3. Written exercises which took 4-5 hours to complete — these were sent on a Friday and I was expected to return them in 2-3 days. No explanation was given when I asked follow up questions. 4. Final interview with senior product manager and hiring manager — This was meant to be discussing the written exercises from step 3 — one of the guys had not read my submissions at all and was quite under prepared for the interview overall. Instead of asking me questions relevant to the position, he started asking me how I had been moved so far into the process when the position is actually reporting to London. I am based in Dublin and was told from the start that this will be an all remote position. He was emailing people as he spoke to me during the interview! The person even went on to say that the hiring manager confused England and Ireland to be the same countries !! they claim to be a global and diverse and distributed team - mind you ! Finally I was told on the interview that I'm a really good fit for the position and i should have one last interview with someone senior( I had already had 3 interviews + 4-5 hours of exercises). On a fine Monday morning, they sent an email informing that they only intend to hire London based candidates, and have changed the seniority level too. They explicitly said that the feedback was great but they have to stop the process at this stage!! This was after wasting effectively 4 days of my time in interviews + written exercises. No decent apology, no admittance of the fact that they were so negligent to not know that England and Ireland are in fact different countries. One of the most unprofessional and unsettling experiences I've ever had. If you are interviewing for a sr. technical writer position - run a mile . For company that claims to be diverse, distributed and what not - they think that ENGLAND and IRELAND are the same country !!

Video interview via zoom. The interview was carried out in a lousy manner and interrupted by family members coming in and out of the interviewer's room in his home. The interviewer was unprepared and hadn't read my resume. Neither he nor the HR responded to my follow-up email. I had to ask a friend who works in the company to find out the results. Eventually, they sent me a letter notifying they had decided to proceed with a higher caliber candidate (c). That letter left quite a memory, I wonder who authorized and approved that unacceptable wording.
