Interview
I was recruited via my college's job board. I filled out an application and did the preliminary phone call with a current project manager, and was invited to the next round which was a three hour long timed skills assessment. I took the test and advanced to the final round, where I interviewed via zoom for three hours and had to give a ten minute presentation. I also had to provide references, fill out a second application, and take a personality test. I was told at the end of the interview that I'd find out within a two week period; a few days later, the recruiter reached back out to me about another position he was considering me for. I again did another phone call with a current employee, and reported back to the recruiter. Although they had been great about contacting me and following up earlier on in the process, they became unreachable and silent after the second interview. I reached out after the two week period to check on the status of my application, and received no response. Today I received word that I wasn't chosen for either position. For the amount of time and energy the applications and interviews require, I was very disappointed by the lack of transparency at the end, given the amount of interest and engagement they expressed throughout the process. It felt like a waste of time.

Interview
The initial phone interview was great-good balance of casual conversation and information given. The follow up skills assessment was difficult and strange in format for a "non-technical" project management position in my opinion. During my phone interview, the interviewer stressed that no prior coding or computer software knowledge was needed for this position. The skills test included a lot of complex coding-like components that did not seem reflective of the position that was described to me. I also didn't love the fact that I was being required to take a long and heavily proctored exam for a company that I didn't even have an on-site interview with. That is a heavy time commitment for a job/company you don't know much about. Not a fan of the whole process. Be transparent about the position and it's requirements.
