I applied to a position at Braze in mid August, and completed all of the steps of the interview process within 2.5 weeks. I was initially impressed with the efficiency of the process, but the communication after that went downhill. 1.5 months after submitting my application, the recruiter and team ‘still didn’t have a decision’. During this time, they also reposted the role online, and yet kept stringing me along by saying that they needed to complete other interviews to make a final decision, but that they really liked me.
Waiting for a decision was a waste of time. It became clear that they were trying to find the next best thing but wanted to keep me as a backup option. In the end, I actually never heard back on the final decision - but didn’t appreciate this type of treatment and would prefer either 1 - a more thoughtfully spaced interview process and 2 - honesty. From my experience, I wouldn’t reccomend this company.
