My experience with the interview process was totally bizarre. The recruiter reached out to me directly about a new role. I had an interview with HR and then an interview with a Hiring manager. Everything seemed to be going well. I was given a task too which I submitted, full of optimism. Unfortunately, I heard nothing from HR and followed up a few weeks later. Still heard nothing. I waited another few weeks and followed up with HR again with the hiring manager directly this time. I eventually received a rejection and have no doubt they’re going to use the ideas I provided in the task. I was really keen on the role and it would have been nice if they had kept me updated throughout the process properly.
