Applied for the Network Architect role and heard back months later. The recruiter who contacted me was inexperienced and couldn't even effectively present the company. They mentioned the process takes a long time in a rather unenthusiastic way. During the interview, the interviewer was late, seemed disengaged, and was likely very busy. After the call, I withdrew my application as I wasn't interested anymore. It felt like either a very disorganized company or just poorly conducted interviews. Not worth the time investment to find out more.

Behavioral Technical
I had a phone screening. The screener contacted me via text to set up a time. I had to initiate contact because the screener didn't reach out at the scheduled time. They asked two questions about my background, then inquired about my mechanical expertise. After that, they asked if I was interested in a store-level, non-management position. I've been managing multiple stores as a district/area manager for almost 10 years, and I didn't apply to be an area manager just to end up in a store technician job. What a waste of time.

It was a phone interview. They started with 4 screening questions, then asked about my experience. After that, they inquired about my desired pay rate, my target position, and my career aspirations within the company, along with my desired salary for that. They also gave me an opportunity to ask questions. They went over advancement opportunities, the benefits package in detail, tuition reimbursement, certification reimbursements, pay rates based on experience, the remainder of the hiring process, and available locations. Finally, they scheduled a second interview with a hiring manager at a specific location and explained the process for receiving a job offer letter.
