First off, congrats.

Second, have you guys had a chance to revise your hiring pipeline? When I spoke to your recruitment team a bit over a year ago they were asking for 8 straight hours on a zoom call as part of the software engineering interview. I had to drop out of the process because fitting that in was exceptionally difficult. (They did offer to split it into 5 and 3 but I still couldn't fit that in). They remarked they were looking to update that process a bit.

The above aside - I remember thinking everyone I spoke to there was pleasant and enjoyed working there. I was sad to have to drop out.

Best of luck moving forward.

Thank you. I agree that ask was a bit much for a lot of candidates; we updated our engineering interviews to be shorter and more manageable a few months ago.

8 hours on a zoom call! That would be a hard pass for me.

I know this is my entitled Big Tech worker bias, but... surely there should be a lunch break?

Not mentioned in the emails I had. They did suggest splitting it into 5 and 3 hour chunks but I couldn't fit it into my schedule (between work and my other half's health issues, I had to move around a lot due to several days of ER visits)
