Applied ~2 years ago for a frontend job there, spend half a day answering the initial questions, never got ANY response from them. I mean - a short "Thank you, but no thank you" note would have been just fine. Landed the perfect remote job shortly after.

Yeah, that was unacceptable of us. No excuses. We've gotten better with our https://zapier.com/jobs/our-commitment-to-applicants/.

The same for me. I even rewrote the questions as answers and didn't even get an acknowledgement.

Half a day??? Talk about dedication :)!

Anyway, Zapier's process appears to have improved from 2 years ago -- they commit to and usually succeed in responding to your application within a week now.
