Process began in early December with four rounds (HR, initial tech, deeper tech in-office, and technical/management). Interviewers were professional, but communication and scheduling were inconsistent after an HR change, and the process dragged on with late reschedules. The rejection cited preference for Snowflake experience, which wasn’t listed as a requirement in the posting (BigQuery or equivalent appeared acceptable). If Snowflake is essential, it should be stated upfront to avoid wasting time on both sides.
