I went through five video interviews for this role, which I believe is more than the usual process. The first two were with the hiring manager; for the second, I was asked to create a bottom-of-the-funnel campaign and a pillar page, which I spent a good amount of time on.
After that, I didn’t hear back immediately, and a few days later the recruiter informed me that the position had been put on hold. A few weeks later, they reached out again to say the hiring process was resuming, and I was invited to a third interview, which was positioned as a refresher.
The fourth and fifth interviews were with members of the marketing team. These were more informal, focused on team fit, and the people I spoke with were friendly and easy to talk to.
Unfortunately, after the final round, I again experienced a delay in communication. Eventually, I was told that the hiring manager I had originally interviewed with was no longer with the company.
Overall, the process was lengthy and had a few unexpected turns. While I appreciated the conversations I had with the team, the lack of clarity and changes throughout the process made the experience challenging. I would suggest more internal alignment on roles before starting interviews, as candidates invest a lot of time and effort into preparing.
