The process took almost two months The recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn, three original rounds of interviews, primarily engineering-focused, no product-focused interviews, upfront about the opening and offered 120k USD of salary as a contractor *wink wink LATAM engineers* I had one extra round focused on pair programming, like the ones on Amazon to "raise the bar", not sure if I was a particular case. Last round I didn't perform well, partly because the recruiter didn't give me enough information about the interviews until I pointed out in the last round that it was expected to have 3 hrs of technical interviews without enough space/context to prepare for them. and also because I wasn't very proficient in using JS (they only permitted Ruby, JS, and Python) All the interviewers were cordial, some of them were very focused on getting to know me as an engineer, and the other ones were very FAANG-like to give the correct answers/approach but no brainstorming After the last round, there was radio silence for several days, I got the gut feeling that I was rejected, sent a follow-up email to the recruiter after two days, and got an auto-reply email right after that the recruiter was OOO. Ten days after I got the rejection email offering feedback but tbh I was so burned out that I didn't even have the motivation to respond to the email. Never felt so ignored in a process with another startup, wouldn't apply again unless they change completely the process.

The process took 2 weeks and a half. The recruiter reached me on LinkedIn. They pushed to schedule the interview meetings and were very responsive during the process. I didn't receive an offer, they send an email saying they will not move forward with the process about a very different position. When I asked about feedback, they stopped responding.
