First step was a 15-20 minutes call with Talent Acquisition, although really nice, I was not given any chance to ask questions about the company. The second step was a 45-minute Zoom call with the hiring manager. I tried to keep it upbeat and excited to be there but the manager looked and sounded like they'd rather be anywhere but on this call. It was hard to connect and a lot of the same questions were asked. It felt like a dry conversation. I was then told that the hiring process includes about 5-6 rounds. I received the rejection email roughly a week later, and was told that 'the company's interview process is really tough and it was not about my abilities'. With all due respect, a job starting at 45K/year, which is no longer a livable wage btw, should not be 'tough' to interview for nor demand so many rounds. Looks like the company wants the creme de la creme and seems to be hyper-selective when, really, they can't afford to pay for the standards and skills they want.
