Interview
Fairly straightforward interview process.
All the people I met were nice.
However, after the last interview with the Engineering head, I was told that I will definitely get a response regardless of whether I was selected or not. This didn't happen.
Unfortunately, this seems like a pattern. Someone else had reported the same thing here. I had to chase the recruiter multiple times to get the response.
Also, there was no clear reason given for moving ahead with another candidate. They spent more than a week contemplating on the decision and didn't bother to give a response to me.
Doesn't bode well with the culture when the Engineering head assures you that you'll get a response and they don't follow up on what they say. This is quite concerning as more often than not you get a response regardless of whether you were selected or not.

Interview
It was really well managed, with clear steps and the chance to receive proper feed back which is always invaluable! I really appreciated the recruiters prompt communication which I'm finding more rare these days.

Unfortunately, after the last interview, the experience was not as good. After the HR interview, I was told they were interviewing some other candidates and I would be contacted back next week, but I wasn't. I had to chase back to find more information, in the end I was told they decided to go with another candidate, no feedback was given apart from this, I asked if I could get some more details, but I never got a response.
