I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at X (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2022
Interview
Referred by current employee.
Received email from recruiter requesting a phone screen. Responded multiple times before the recruiter responded again. Tried several times to schedule the call.
Recruiter totally dropped the ball. At some point he blamed the tracking system. Never got the phone screen setup; withdrew my application.
My referrer tells my Twitter's recruiting function is a sh*tshow right now.

Question 1
Never got this far thanks to broken recruiting function.
They put me through hours of interviews to be told they closed the role. The interview questions were fair. I wish they didn't schedule a video call to reject me - it got my hopes up. Would prefer to be rejected via email.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at X in Feb 2022
Interview
Overall a smooth process. I met with the recruiter, followed by the hiring manager and then the interview loop. The loop was virtual, five sessions for 45 minutes, and with two participants in each session. The recruiter prepped me for my interviews and let me know the loop focus areas: Resume Review; Technical Communications; Product Roadmap; Building a Better Company; Cross-Functional Collaboration.

Question 1
Tell me about a decision that you made that wasn't popular? How did you get buy-in?
