I went through 4 rounds of interviews and didn't hear back for a while. The interviews went well, but the slow responses are tricky when you're talking to other companies and want to respect their time. Overall, everyone on the team seemed passionate and very kind.

I received an interview invitation around three weeks after I applied for the job online. The job was based in London but it would seem that the recruiting process is outsourced to the US. I had a great video interview with the recruiting agent who was based in California and she promptly sent me another invitation to interview with one of the comms team in the UK. Because all the correspondence was between myself and the recruiting agent, I had to wait until the evenings until hearing anything back as California is 8 hours behind. This wasn't an issue but I felt that it slowed things down a little. I had a great video interview with the UK Comms manager and was sent the next phase of the process the same day. The next phase was an assignment based on comms strategy and outreach. Unfortunately, despite putting in a lot of hard work and research, this was the stage that tripped me up and I didn't progress to the final interview. Everyone was very friendly throughout the process and all in all it was positive. I reached out to the comms manager for feedback following the assignment and although they responded, the feedback was not constructive in any way and I was just told that I had 'done well.' I'm still grateful for any feedback however, as a lot of companies I have interviewed with have neglected to provide any at all. Best of luck to anyone applying and be prepared for multiple rounds of interviews/tasks!
