I was put forward for a role through Digital Futures and completed a three-stage interview process with the hiring company. I was informed in advance that the second stage would be a technical interview including a code review, however it turned out to be a more in-depth system design discussion. Clearer expectations beforehand would have helped me prepare more effectively. After the final interview, I did not receive any update despite following up multiple times. As a candidate, I would expect the recruiter to help close the loop or at least provide an update, even if the outcome is negative. While the opportunity itself was interesting, the lack of communication after the process was disappointing.
