I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Zendesk
Interview
I was giving 20 minutes to prepare a presentation for a creative project when I was suppose to have had all week. Then I was ghosted after being sent a benefits package after a month a half or interviewing. It was pretty clear that the recruiter had very little experience hiring for creative positions before.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked what my most boring/corporate project was and how I creatively problem solved it.
It's been two months since I applied, I can track my progress in their recruiting system and my application is stuck in the "in review" stage, while the job offer continues to be reposted. Waiting this long for a CV review seems a nonsens and is a waste of my time.

Question 1
I’m waiting almost 2 months for reviewing my application
The interviews with team members were engaging, but the overall process was extremely drawn out. It took nearly two months. At multiple stages, I assumed they had moved on without notifying me, only to get contacted for yet another interview. In the end they told me they were making a decision within days, yet they never contacted me to tell me they went with another candidate. I have empathy for the demands of hiring at a high-growth company, but I as disappointed to not be treated wth more respect as a candidate.
