The first round was with the recruiter. I was told my background was exactly what was needed. The second round was with the hiring manager, and again told the same thing. The third round was a fairly easy case. Again, positive feedback.
In each round I received excellent feedback but I was taken out of the process due to my age
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wayfair (Boston, MA) in Oct 2021
Interview
I was contacted by a Wayfair recruiter via LinkedIn. The message was personalized to me and my experience, stating they had a role I might be interested in. I responded to the recruiter that I would be interested to learn more about the role and we scheduled a call. The recruiter called me at the specified time and we talked for about 30 minutes. The recruiter asked pretty standard "tell me about you" questions and a few questions that were more specific to the role. The recruiter then took a few high level questions from me. Over all the conversation was very positive and energetic on both side. The call ended with the recruiter asking if I would like her to send me more details on the specific role and she indicated that she would recommend me for a initial call with the hiring manager who she mentioned by first name. I said that would be great and looked forward to the next steps. The following day I sent a short email to the recruiter thanking her for her time. One week after the phone screen with the recruiter I sent a short follow up note expressing my interest in the role, and seeing the role description. Now about a week and a half after the phone call, I've still had no response at all from the recruiter. I understand recruiters are very busy right now but ghosting is not a great way to build your brand especially for higher level roles.

Interview
Lengthy process with multiple behavioural and case interviews. Interviewers seemed disinterested as if they already have a candidate in mind and are interviewing me just as a formality.
Was given 50 min for the case interview presentation but the interviewer showed up 10 min late and blamed it on me for not finishing on time.
