Recruiter screen, hiring manager phone call, in-person interview, took three weeks. The in-person (four people) interviews were rushed, only 30 minutes per person and they usually showed up 5 minutes late. The first interviewer admitted that they had not reviewed my resume. The hiring manager asked the same questions as on the phone screen and I don't think they remembered talking to me a week prior. The recruiter prepped me by telling me that I should be able to talk about the metrics I use to track the success of campaigns. The hiring manager never asked me about metrics.

I applied online and heard back from the recruiter about 2 days later to schedule a screening call. The recruiter was really nice, very knowledgeable about the role and the team and was very transparent in terms of hiring process, requirements and salary range. They told me that this was the second time the team was hiring for this role because they couldn't find the right candidate in the first round. I felt very good after the talk with the recruiter and was looking forward to speaking with the hiring manager next. That call was set up 3 days later and was nothing out of the ordinary. Questions were all either specific to the role I applied for or about my past experience. Overall the call was fine but I personally prefer to have conversations rather then pure question/answer interviews. The next step was an onsite interview with 5 people (incl. hiring manager), which got scheduled about one week later and took around 3 hours. The experience was overall pretty positive, well organized, warm welcome and good conversations, however I got a weird vibe from a few interviewers, they seemed to be frustrated about Twitters challenges and didn't seem to be very happy there. According to the recruiter, the next and last step would have been another offsite interview with senior management but after I followed-up a few days later to ask about feedback I received an email with a home assignment instead, giving me 24 hours to complete. This is common practice these days but the recruiter hasn't mentioned that in our first call, so it seemed like this was not initially planned, also because the material I received looked like quickly thrown together. After I spent the entire evening and morning on it I received another email from the recruiter saying that I can take a bit more time to complete. As positive as the process was until then it went downhill from there. I had to follow-up multiple times with the recruiter to here feedback. At this point it was clear to me that I'm not their first choice and it felt like they tried to win some time by giving me the assignment. After a few more days and follow-ups I finally received a rejection email and felt pretty relieved.
