JD said "user research and strategy." Interview panel talked exclusively about data analysis and SQL. Withdrawn when it became clear the role was completely different.
Eight rounds over two months. I should have withdrawn by round five. Ghosted after the hiring committee review. Eight rounds.
After every interview I received a personalised email with next steps and a timeline. Offer came on day 12. I've been burned too many times to believe it until I had the contract.
Didn't get the role but received a detailed email explaining which skills I'd need to develop. Recruiter offered to keep me in mind for future roles. A model rejection.
Three rounds. Every interviewer had read my CV and asked intelligent questions. Felt like a conversation, not an interrogation. Offer on day 16 as promised.
The technical bar is high. They told me upfront. Rejected after the technical round with specific feedback. Respectful throughout.
Five rounds for a Director hire is still a lot, but each one had a clear purpose and I was briefed beforehand. Offer as promised on day 21.
Had to withdraw for personal reasons. Recruiter was gracious and said to reach out when ready. Process was the best I'd experienced during my job search.
Two rounds, one case study. Felt human throughout. Offer in under two weeks.
