The interview was 1.5 hours, broken into three 30-minute meetings with the TA Operations manager, a recruiting manager, and a coordinator. Standard questions were asked for this position. Everyone was easy to talk to and friendly. I sent a thank you note to the recruiter afterwards, asking to forward it to the interviewers, but I never got any confirmation or follow-up feedback. It felt like a waste of 1.5 hours to not even get a response saying they're moving forward with someone else.

The hiring process involved three interviews: it kicked off with a phone screen, then a 45-minute chat with the hiring manager, and wrapped up with a 1.5-hour session featuring three 30-minute interviews with team members. I liked the overall process, but I felt I had to keep asking for updates on my application status. The whole thing took about two months before I was told they had selected another candidate.
