Candidate-reported interview process

I applied online and then had a phone screening with a TA associate. After that, I was invited for a 1-hour in-person interview with two TA reps. The next round was a 2.5-hour interview with 5 people, which required me to leave work early. The whole thing took about 1.5 months. I was rejected and wasn't happy with the lack of communication afterward. I emailed asking for feedback to know what to work on, but never got a response. I felt after a 2.5-hour interview and having to leave my job, I deserved an explanation.

So I applied on their website, and then I had a phone screen, then two in-person rounds, then I did an exercise, and then a final in-person interview.

The interview was great, employees were very nice and welcoming. They asked questions that were very relevant to the position. It was a more casual style of interview, which was nice for comfortability. It also felt like the interviewers were really trying to get to know me!
