Multiple recruiters reached out concurrently, and they seem pretty disorganized with tracking candidates.
I ended up connecting with a great recruiter and did an Online assessment (OA). It then took forever to get lined up for a Full Interview loop. Over 2 months back and forth, applying to different teams after I did the OA with the help of the recruiter.
The quality of the interviewers during the full loop was pretty mixed. They didn't seem at all engaged, and one might have been multitasking. I wish it was in person. The questions themselves were mostly fair.
