The initial screening interviews are pretty easy going and conversational but the assignment is a lot of work. Expect to spend a lot of time completing the assignment. Panel interviews are the final step and are hours spent with a mishmash of different interviewers who have different interview styles. It’s a confusing and exhausting process.

Chaotic and disorganized recruiting process. Applied for a completely different role, but was contacted and told that they thought I could be a good fit for the Data Strategist role instead. They asked if I'd like to have a conversation to understand this role better. Turns out this "conversation" was actually an interview with behavioural-based questions. No problem, not helpful to better my understanding of the role they had suggested to me., and definitely not a casual conversation. Next step was another conversation/ interview. Neither of the two individuals I spoke with at this point were at liberty to discuss compensation with me. Instead I was given the contact information of a VP and told to email him if I wanted to understand the compensation structure of this position...? I don't know, pretty basic question before asking somebody to proceed to the assignment and interview phase, given how time consuming they are for both parties. Next step was a lengthy assignment which took multiple hours over multiple days to complete. This was followed by 3 hours of interviews with 6 different people. In one of those interviews, I was ask to present my assignment. Another person coordinated the set-up of these interviews. Despite offering to answer any questions I may have about the interview process, my basic questions about the structure of the assignment presentation went unanswered. The structure is six back to back interviews with no time in between. Mostly, everyone was friendly, personable and professional. In the end, I was told I'd hear back in the next day or two, I never did. It was not until I followed-up a week later that I was told I was unsuccessful. After investing a ton of time into this, I asked for some simple feedback - none was given. As a start-up, I'd expect some disorganization and lack of process, but this was something else. I offer this review not as a critique but as feedback to improve what was a truly regrettable candidate experience.
