I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Platform One (Manila, Manila) in Nov 2023
Interview
The hiring process is very smooth, and the hiring manager and the hr are very responsive about anything that you wanted to know about. There's only a two steps process from initial to technical interview and once you passed both of them the job offer comes next.

They went out of their way to cold reach out to me and set up an initial screening call. They then sent me a take home coding challenge and proceeded to ghost me after I spent a few hours of my personal time working on the assignment.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Platform One (Sydney) in Feb 2022
Interview
Had multiple rounds of interviews, was given glowing feedback after each round and told they were making a decision by EOW and to expect to hear back. In a tale as old as time, I never heard back. Ghosting candidates who have completed multiple interview rounds is rampant at the moment, but still poor form for a company that spends a good portion of the interview process selling their culture of open communication and respect. Rejection is part of life, investing 5 minutes into a phone call to deliver bad news and provide feedback is an unpleasant but necessary part the process that should be taken more seriously. Everybody I met with was friendly and it did seem like a genuinely good place to work up until the ghosting.
