The hiring process at Rover lasted 1.5 months. Initially, I received a questionnaire, followed by a meeting with the recruiter and then with the manager. I was given a take-home exercise, which I completed and sent back. After that, I heard nothing from Rover for over a week.
I reached out to the recruiter multiple times, but received no response. Strangely, the manager added me on LinkedIn to tell me to be patient and asked if I had any other ongoing processes, which suggested a high level of interest. Eventually, I had another interview with a Data Scientist, whose role in the process was unclear and whose questions didn't relate to the role I was applying for.
Ultimately, I was rejected without any feedback. When I thanked the manager and inquired about feedback, his only response was "Thanks for your time!".
Overall, the process with Rover was frustrating. The recruiters seemed completely disconnected from the process. For a Data Analyst position, this experience felt like a significant waste of time and resources.
