It was relatively straight forward and it didn't take them months to determine whether or not I was a good fit. The senior hiring manager was also willing to part with some advice after I had asked, which is always greatly appreciated

Internal recruiter found me on LinkedIn. I completed three interviews and a time intensive data task in R, all with very positive feedback. I was ultimately not hired but encouraged to reapply. This happened twice more each time just as positive with a different excuse for why the timing wasn't right. Perhaps their recruiters are told to be very nice? Huge waste of my time.
