My initial interview was with the recruiter and it went really well. He was super keen for me to speak with the hiring manager right away so we organised a second stage interview then and there. My second interview went well, wasn't particularly difficult and we both had a great conversation. Alight, RED FLAG: this was a 4 stage interview process. This is just way too much, even by todays standards. Also WHY was one of the stages a full presentation about a topic of their choice? Stop “BrewDog”ing candidates, and getting them to do free work! The recruiter and manager the ghosted me after my second interview. I emailed the recruiter who said he would follow up and after 3 weeks, nothing! I had a feeling that when I spoke to the manager, he had already made up his mind on a candidate and was just going through the motions. The people seemed friendly but on the whole. Too many stages and bad show for ghosting!
3 interviews including screening call with recruiter. Behavioral questions and one presentation on a topic of your choice. Very interactive discussion with 3/4 people depending on the role. Whole process took about 2 months - 1 month break because of the holidays.
