Scheduled a call within a week after getting a reachout. Started with a recruiter phone call, where they said the role is filled. Weirdly, the job posting is still up weeks after.

The interview process included a recruiter screening, a SQL assessment on CoderPad, and several interview rounds. The technical interviews were straightforward, and the interviewers were professional throughout the process. My main concern was around scheduling and communication. There were changes to interview timing and longer gaps between updates than expected, which made the process feel somewhat unstructured. Candidates invest significant effort preparing for assessments and interviews, so clearer communication, better coordination, and more predictable scheduling would greatly improve the candidate experience.
