The process dragged on and felt more time-consuming than it needed to be, especially because the hardest parts came near the end. I started with the recruiter and went through several interviews that led to a presentation-heavy round. Although the feedback earlier in the process had been positive, the pressure grew as I prepared the materials.
The presentation was the biggest challenge. I spent a long time getting ready, and at least once the interviewers did not seem as engaged as I expected. That made it harder to read the room while presenting my case. The final conversations focused more on cultural fit and confirming that I understood what they wanted.
I was rejected by email and received little explanation. What stayed with me was not only the rejection, but how much time I had invested compared with how little detail I got about what had not landed.
Location: United States. Overall feedback: Negative. Offer status: No offer.
