I initially found out about the open role through LinkedIn and applied through the company site/link on LinkedIn. About 2 weeks later, the recruiter contacted me for a quick 15-minute screening. Then it was a 30-minute interview with one member of the team who was currently in the role, followed by another round of phone interviews (an hour each this time) with more team members. There were about 2-3 weeks of radio silence between the first interview and the second round. I didn't hear back from them and since I didn't think too highly of the company after the initial interview, I didn't care enough to follow up. Eventually, the recruiter reached back out as if nothing had happened and set me up for the follow-up interviews. After the 2nd round of interviews, I was asked to complete a "challenge" assignment (a homework that consisted of Excel analysis work and another task). The challenge was supposed to take anywhere between 6-8 hours. I didn't do well in the challenge and never heard back from them. I only learned that I was not selected for the role after I went into Jobvite to see the status of my application. I thought that was a bit rude. Given the time I had already invested at this point (2 rounds of interviews plus the challenge), I thought I should've gotten a "thanks, but no thanks email" for some sort of courtesy closure even though I knew I didn't do well on the challenge.
