I applied for the job and received the rejection email roughly a month after my application. Much to my surprise, two weeks later after the receiving the rejection email I received a call from the TA coordinator asking a few basic questions about my experience, education and availability. She contacted me later that day to schedule an interview with 2 recruiters . The interview was a pleasant conversation, they asked some behavioural questions but overall it was a very casual discussion. However, the feeling I got after it ended was that the result of the interview depends on their opinion of you rather than your skill set and what you can bring to the company - this is what experts call Affinity bias. After the interview, no feedback was provided. I just received the same generic rejection email that I previously received when applying to other vacancies. Although the company and the culture seem very cool, I have had a far superior candidate experience with other companies that don't have neither the same budget or resources.

The interview process was very straight forward: 1) MS Teams call with the recruiter. 2) In person interview with Hiring Manager 3) In person panel interview 4) Job Offer All in all, the process took around 4 weeks from first call to offer.
