It was a fairly quick process with a communicative and helpful recruiter. The people were nice. I went through multiple rounds the ranged from 30 minutes to an hour. Then they ghosted me.

Question 1
Tell me how you solve a problem without a specific solution.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Second Front Systems in Nov 2025
Interview
The company reached out a week after I applied. They asked me to schedule an interview using their calendar app. There was ONE slot open 3 weeks in the future. I reached out and asked if they were available any other time and they did not respond. So I scheduled it and waited 3 weeks. They. Did. Not. Show. Up. So I emailed them about their no-show and again was ignored. Eventually someone got back to me and re-scheduled another interview. After a few more days they finally showed up. In the interview the interviewer did not turn on their camera and asked one question: "Tell me about your work experience" or something to that effect....I then got a rejection email the next day. So I waited a month after applying for them to schedule a 5 minute interview to ask me about something that is already on my resume. Then reject me based on my resume. Seems like something they could have done a month earlier without the interview.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Second Front Systems in May 2024
Interview
My interview process with 2F was incredibly smooth and efficient. It kicked off with a very pleasant conversation with Em, a recruiter from 2F. Em was fantastic—she was clear, prompt, and incredibly supportive throughout. From the beginning, she laid out what to expect and followed up quickly after each step, making sure I was always in the loop. Her transparency and dedication made a real difference and set a positive tone for the rest of the process.
Just two days after my initial interview with Em, I had two more interviews—one with the VP of Security and another with members of the IT team. In these meetings, we discussed my experience in automation development and how it matched their needs. I shared details about my past projects, the challenges I encountered, and how I resolved them.
Overall, thanks to Em's outstanding communication and support, the whole experience was one of the best I've had in an interview process. It left me with a great impression of the company's professionalism and culture.
