Several phone interviews with different members of the group over the course of a few weeks, all of which seemed to go very well. No site visit due to the pandemic. After a communication blackout for a few months ("we've paused our recruitment"), they got back to me saying they filled the position, despite giving me no indication that they were still actively hiring. I was disappointed by their lack of transparency and disregard.

The application itself required a written SBIR proposal, which requires a substantial amount of time. After submitting the proposal, I did not hear back from TDA whatsoever. My coworkers who have applied to TDA went through the same and never heard back. Terrible hiring practice.
