Went through 4.5 rounds of interviews (4 plus a mandatory presentation review with a manager) before getting rejected with NO FEEDBACK WHATSOEVER. I requested feedback and was told I'd be followed up with, but never was. And the cherry on top: the job was reposted, so I don't think they hired anyone. Utter disrespect for the candidate's time and feelings.

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Udacity (London, England) in June 2021
Interview
Recruiter screening call
Line manager call (45 minutes)
Regional manager call (45 minutes)
Call with a fellow CSM (45 minutes)
Panel interview (60 minutes)
The interview process was very quick and it flew very nicely. Every person I met and spoke with during the process was very professional, polite and engaged. They shared very valuable and thorough feedback after we led the panel interview (final stage). I appreciated this because, regardless of the end result, it was about very useful and objective insights any candidate would definitely benefit from this.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the mistake that helped you grow and what did you learn from it?
Have you ever had to deal with a difficult colleague and how did you handle it?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Udacity (Dublin, CA) in Aug 2020
Interview
External recruiter presented an interesting opportunity but once this moved internally, the lack of communication and feedback is nothing but rude. One strange interview, no feedback for 2 weeks, hiring manager viewed my LinkedIn profile and no follow up from anyone. Have had 4 rounds of interviews and in final stages with another company in the time has take to simply receive feedback on my first round interview from Udacity.

Question 1
Internal hiring manager seemed nice but like she had not had much experience interviewing. Asked super generic questions, conversation didn’t flow and it was clear that she was looking to hear the exact words she had already decided were part of the perfect answer.
