Atleast you got a response; I have applied thrice over here, but they never bothered to even send an automated rejection.

Oh that was only after the one that did amount to an interview. I otherwise had to reach out to people individually to hear anything at all.
I also applied there some three or so times, and didn't get those either.
Attempting to network with people here led them to promise me at least a response (since these roles were still open, and have been), but they ghosted me then -- only to blindside me about it over a year later, when interviewing me for a different role.
And while they're not the only place ever to grill me about a bad experience at a prior employer, they are the only place ever to explicitly ask me to tell them something I didn't like about one. Or to rate a previous boss (horrible or otherwise) on a scale of 1 to 10.
This, by the way, was all while I accommodated an overseas recruiter by taking an interview at 7pm on a Sunday.
I don't at all feel like I encountered the same level of respect, and while I was genuinely interested in their stated values (including but not limited to their value proposition) and their subject matter, based on my actual interactions with them I really can't recommend applying here.
