Round 1: Answer three questions by video and submit within 3 days. I don't mind doing a video interview, but it seems a little strange to do this before an intro call.
Round 2: A short 5 minute intro call where little to no information about the role, the team, or what I would be working on was shared.
Round 3: Complete a test sample from a prompt, and also share a 3-5 page slide deck of a case study or recent project. The directions said to spend 3 hours. I thought it was odd to get a request to do a test sample project before ever talking to a hiring manager. I still didn't know anything about the team or what I would be doing, so I completed the project sample with little idea of what they would be looking for. Again, very bizarre to have a test sample at this stage of an interview process. I figured why not and completed the test samples. After I submitted the two part test sample that definitely took more than 3 hours, I was sent an automated rejection email with no feedback. At no point in the process did I have a good understanding of what this job was and what I would be working on. Also, as part of the application, I shared numerous examples of work so this was interview process was very odd. I was really interested in the company at first, but this experience was so negative and pretty disrespectful towards candidates. Interviews should be more two way, and not a gauntlet before you even get a chance to talk with hiring manager. This was really not a great experience for candidates and the interview process definitely will turn away a lot of great people.
