Interview with recruiter took 15 mins, super easy just a quick understanding of experience and skills and then a lot of upbeat language about how great of a fit I would be Then had 4 separate interviews with 4 people from the office. HM asked if the role was too junior for me, I said no. emailed each one a thank you email after the interviews and never heard a single thing back from any of them or the recruiter for over 3 weeks until I reached out to the HM and Recruiter to ask for an updated (although I knew I hadn't gotten it). HM never responded, Recruiter responded to say I hadn't gotten it. I reached out to the recruiter after to ask about another similar role, never heard a thing back, emailed again and still nothing. Really bad experience.

Here is the timeline: Wait after sending out application and receiving the hirevue invite 5 weeks, another 5 weeks later after asking what happened to my application, I started to communicate with (a human) recruitment assistant, this resulted in an interview with two HR representatives, and 6 face-to-face interviews with team leaders and department managers. Finally, I spent 2,5 hours presenting a case study, and a scientific presentation, which I was asked to prepare beforehand (oh wait, there was also a scientific abstract for the presentation that I had to send in). By the time, all these interview were done, 4 months had passed. And finally, I was sort of ghosted for 5 weeks to be rejected mostly due to having the wrong specialist profile. I had to insist to receive feedback on my application.
