This was a pretty strange experience. I was contacted by a Google recruiter on LinkedIn and asked to apply. Of course I did (who says no to Google?) Had a short discussion with that recruiter who said she would pass my resume on to the Compensation team. The Compensation recruiter set up a phone screen with me, but then forgot to call me so I had to call her about 15 minutes late when I realized she must have really forgotten (rather than just running late). She hadn't read my resume yet, so we spent about 30 minutes reviewing my resume (she basically read it to me over the phone), and then she asked me about my Excel skills (which are pretty good because my current job is working in Excel 12 hours a day). That was it. A week later they called to say no offer.

How would you deal with a coworker who was not fulfilling their commitments for a project?
Process was very straightforward and efficient. 3x 1 hour interviews (2 members of the team, 1 cross-functional team member) a mix of hypothetical questions (e.g., how would you address a situation like X, or how would you determined if Y project was successful or not) and behavioral questions (e.g., tell me about a time you had conflict with a team member).

The process so far has taken close to five months - at this point I assume the role is no longer open (or was ever open). First recruiter (R1) was great, she took my application and saw a fit for an alternative role and passed me through to a new recruiter (R2). R2 provided me with an Excel based test and project via e-mail. The project mainly included fixing/building out a compensation calculator and providing analysis based on several questions; took several hours to fully complete. I was informed I successfully completed the test, however, the hiring team were busy with year-end processes. I followed-up on a bi-weekly basis and after receiving few responses, I did some investigating and R2 was no longer with the company. I reached out to R1 for advice who kindly put me in contact with a new recruiter (R3). R3 asked me to re-send my project, to which I was told I had passed (again), and then she explained the hiring team were waiting on budget considerations. At least another month or so went by with me being put in a holding position and at this point I have decided to not follow-up further. It seems disrespectful and a bad candidate experience to never have the opportunity to speak to anyone (even over the phone) about the role despite having me spend several hours diligently successfully complete a project test.
