I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rockall Technologies (Dublin, Dublin) in Nov 2019
Interview
- Two initial calls with recruiter and then hiring manager
- Technical test writing Python to query an API, Bash to check for valid emails and building a SQL query
- 3 hour interview with HR, management and engineering team
Waited 2 weeks to get results of technical test and then another 3 weeks to hear back regarding the final interview
Received a cut and pasted reply "we have decided not to proceed with your application"
Considering over 5 hours of interview time plus a weekend of writing code and building a database server it was frustrating to receive such a curt reply.
Thank you for your candid feedback, it is much appreciated. We are always happy to follow up post-interview in more detail, please do reach out to your contact from our recruitment team.
We regret that the process takes a long time during very busy periods for our hiring teams and do our best to keep candidates informed on timelines. Q4 in 2019 was exceptionally busy and we hope that we managed to communicate that to everyone affected.
