It was solid. I enjoyed all of my interactions with their team and I appreciated how communicative they were throughout the process. I would definitely commend the recruiter's interview ability and quick response times.

Question 1
Interest in the company, specific work experience, career growth interests, podcasts
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Energy Impact Center (Atlanta, GA) in Dec 2021
Interview
Was initially contacted by the Energy Impact Center in-house recruiting team on LinkedIn looking for an I&C Engineer.
Had a 30 minute phone call interview with them, where we discussed the role, company and mission
A week later I had a 30 minute video interview with a senior member of the Engineering team about the role, going more in depth to engineering and my qualifications, problem solving skills
After the second interview, I was sent a technical problem to solve and given a week to solve and send back my answers. After completing and submitting within the time frame, I heard nothing, not even a confirmation that they had received my submission. I reached out after a week to make sure, and received a nice response (Holiday season, very busy) and they verbally set up a meeting for the following week.
On the day of the meeting I reached out to make sure, since I hadn't received a meeting invitation or time, received a nice response (want another employee to sit in on the next interview, they're not available for another week), I told them fine, and to please contact me when they can both get together. I have still not heard and it has been over a month.
Ghosting a candidate that you initially reached out to, after they spent a week of their own free time on a technical interview is unprofessional, at best.
