Initial phone screen with an internal recruiter was straightforward and easy. The next step before a first interview with someone on the team/hiring manager was to complete an analytics case study. The case study was very time consuming and took on average 5-10 hours for a candidate to complete. In my experience I submitted it on time and did not hear back from the recruiter until 4 WHOLE weeks later, even after sending two follow-up emails. Seems to me like very poor communication and a waste of time on their part– inviting a candidate to complete a burdensome case study before even a conversation with a hiring manager.
