After applying to the position, the hiring manager discussed and scheduled for an alignment call to go through expectations and overall interview process. Brief questions regarding expected salary range, background, and location suitability were asked. The manager then explained that the process involves a tech interview that tests familiarity with code and tech docs with 3 live coding sections, a group call problem-solving with the team OR a call with the manager, and lastly a culture call with other members from the company.
The alignment call provided a clear idea of how the interview process went, and made sure the candidate and the company are aligned in terms of expected salary, etc. The hiring manager gave an estimated date for when the technical interview was to take place, as the team needs to be consulted regarding availability.
After the call, the manager became unreachable, and months went by without correspondence despite attempts of follow-up contact. The vacant role was advertised on the website for months and was only taken down recently.
