Initial screening interview in April with recruiter to discuss the opportunity. Then ghosted for 1 month, no updates. Finally, received an update in towards end of June saying unsuccessful. Surely, doesn't take that long for a reply especially for a screening call.

A recruiter reached out to me and was very forthcoming with details on the vacancy and why he thought I might be a good fit. This was followed by an interview with 2 Multiverse engineers, going through some code that they'd given me ahead of time (so I had plenty of time to familiarise myself with it) to explain how it works etc. There were also behavioural questions like "Tell me about a time when you x". Next, there was a take home task to complete in a language of your choice (I chose Python). The problem itself is quite simple, so you can use some of the 3 hours to also show that you know how to write tests and organise a small project. This was followed by a 2nd interview with 2 more engineers in which you walk through the exercise and they ask some more behavioural questions. Lastly, there was a final stage interview with someone senior within Multiverse. Throughout the process, the interviewers made me feel at ease and were kind and supportive. No trick questions.
