I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Miro (Amsterdam)
Interview
One year ago, I was approached by a recruiter on LinkedIn. We had a small sync up meeting and shortly after they shared a take home assignment .
I gave ~4-8 hours of my time to finish the assignment and all I got in response was an email from an automated system(no-reply@) with mostly vague feedback.
I understand the solution that I submitted didn't meet the standards but given the time I had spent working on it, it's fair to assume and also a standard industry practice, that a proper feedback is provided to the candidate to help them realize their mistakes and help them grow.
Fast forward one year, on a Friday I was approached by a recruiter again and I shared my feedback (as I wrote above) with them. They apologized and said they'll try to change the experience this time.
I did some thinking over the weekend and on Monday as I was typing a reply agreeing to get into the process again, I got an email again from no-reply@ saying sorry we've decided not to go through, this time I didn't even interview!.
I'm not sure if I'd ever want to be in the loop with them again.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Miro in Jan 2022
Interview
The interview process took about 3 weeks, starting with the initial phone screen, then an interview with the hiring manager, and then a Panel with the team.
Overall it was a great experience and the team was very attentive and responsive throughout the entire process.

Interview
Another example of an organisation expecting time, dedication and input from the candidate without providing any actionable feedback following interview. Really disappointing.
In this case, was sent a template email following having an in person interview. No courtesy of a phonecall to feedback or any further information rather than a "no thanks".
Looks like a good org but sadly, really turned off from the experience.
