I had a series of interviews (phone screen + technical interviews) for a position with LASP.

For the last technical interview, they had me complete a programming assignment and submit it a few days later. I finished the program and everything worked. I sent the program off and still have not received a response a couple months later. Not even a rejection. When I talked with the person who was interviewing me, he assured me that I would receive a response regardless of whether I would be hired or not.

I have contacted several other people within LASP, and even called them. No one is answering my e-mails or knows what I am talking about when I call. What gives?

The hiring process is overly complicated as we're only loosely affiliated with the university but our hiring process has to go through them. It's also quite slow for this reason - it took me several months of contacting people before I was hired as well. Leadership here has been working with the university to smooth this process out (as well as other processes we needlessly have to go through the uni for.)

I've put my email address in my profile; if you want to hit me up with the job / manager you applied for I'll see if I can dig anything up for you. FWIW its worth the wait / effort; it's a very cool place to work
