The interview process was very long. There was a 30 minute phone screen, a 2-part hiring exercise, then another 1-hour interview over the phone in order to discuss my logic when completing the hiring exercise. I understand that this position had a lot of significant duties, however, the interview process was very discouraging. I also understand a challenging hiring process but not a brutal one like this one. I would not want to work for a company that makes their staff jump through extensive hoops.

I received an email to schedule a phone interview, which I did immediately. The phone interview lasted all of about 20 minutes. She asked me a couple of questions, told me very briefly about the job, and then asked if I had any questions. Maybe it was just me, but she didn't seem all that interested in me from the very start of the call. It was just an OK experience. I followed-up with an email, never heard back, and then about 2 weeks later, I received the "your experience is impressive, but we've chosen to pursue other candidates" obligatory email. Disappointing. I feel like I didn't really even get a chance to show them what I could do.
