Good introductory call, explained the whole process of what each stage would be. First round after HR call was with hiring manager to discuss technical abilities and experiences, no coding required yet
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ascendant (New York, NY) in July 2025
Interview
I went through three rounds of interviews at Ascendant NYC—two with Nicole C. and one with Dana R. The conversations were thoughtful, professional, and gave me a positive impression of the team and their work. I also prepared a short presentation and attended an in-person interview at their office.
However, after the final round, I did not receive any follow-up or closure regarding the decision. Despite reaching out via email and LinkedIn, I did not receive a response. While I appreciated the interview experience itself, I found the lack of closure disappointing given the effort involved. Clearer communication would have made the experience more professional overall.
