Interview
They lacked clarity throughout the entire process. It was extremely long, with disconnected steps, and the feedback had nothing to do with the job description. The panel didn’t seem to know what they were looking for and kept adding new steps along the way, apparently just so the next interviewer could reject the candidate.
