Candidate-reported interview process
I went to a job fair and had a screening interview. About a week later, they called me for an onsite interview. I got there about 10 minutes early. I went inside and signed in with the receptionist. They said my interview would be in 15 minutes. After about 20-25 minutes, a manager came out and told me the interview was canceled for that day but someone would contact me to reschedule. I said okay and went home. Later, I called the contact person from the email, and they said they weren't moving forward with my application. No reason was given.
The interview had a phone screen, followed by 6 rounds during an onsite interview.
Had 1 phone interview and then 3 virtual interviews over computer conference.
