United StatesPosted Feb 2019 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My path started off strong: I went through the usual steps with a recruiter and then moved into coding and in-person stages, followed by later interviews up to leadership levels.

I finished the full sequence, and the experience felt super positive—especially the part where senior leadership showed up without feeling over-rehearsed.

The twist came after everything was technically “done.” I got an email saying they wanted to hire me but weren’t sure which team they’d place me on because the role I applied for had already filled. They said they’d follow up in a couple of months, and I waited. I chased a few times after that, but I never heard back. It felt odd because, if everything was filled, it didn’t fully explain why the later steps had happened so far in the first
