1st Interview was with HR and it was good and insightful - she expressed being very interested and said this role was a top priority and they wanted to move quickly on it. She asked if I could get done the Take- Home Assignment. In hindsight I wish I pushed back doing a 6 hour assignment (they say its 3 but it would be poorly executed with only 3 hours) before I had met with a member of the Finance Team. I turned around this assignment within 48 hours and then HR completely ghosted me. I followed up after a week and with in 8 minutes she let me know they weren't interested and would be moving forward with other candidates. I have nothing against want to test technical skills - especially when you are dealing with CPA's but I would highly encourage future candidates to wait to do these hefty assignments until you have met with the future team not just HR. Who even knows if it is a good fit before you make it to that step. Overall was disappointment with the lack of professionalism and consideration. They offered to provide feedback but I never got a response.
