I was first contacted by a recruiter through my LinkedIn profile. I then sent a reply email with my resume and interest in the position. After hearing little response, I also applied online. It was only a month later, I received an email to arrange a talk with the recruiter over the phone. We then spoke later that week, where we spoke about my previous experiences, what the job was and where the team was going. We then agreed to schedule a panel interview in the next two weeks.
I went to the panel interview with three team members of different levels. I did not actually think the interview went that well so I was surprised to find out they were interested in but needed to see more candidates...basically stringing me along.
I just found the whole experience to be very wishy-washy and prolonged. They say they will get back to you within the next 24 hours, but that seems not to be true. Poor communication. Bad response times. An overall terrible experience!
