This was a really long hiring process. It started with a 30-minute phone call with an HR person from California. Then, I had a 2.5-hour in-person interview where they were super negative about my resume, making me wonder why they even bothered calling me. They mentioned there would be a second and third interview, and I'd hear back in about two weeks, which was already three weeks after my initial application. The second interview was also really negative about my resume, and they asked some easy technical questions that threw me off because of their negativity. Honestly, after that, I didn't even want the job. The company also doesn't accrue vacation time, meaning you have to take it and make up the hours. Apparently, the role was open because someone in another department who was forced to do accounting couldn't handle it anymore. It was a pretty bad experience overall.

The process was long. It started with an email, then a phone screening with an HR manager and a Finance Manager. I was told they needed someone urgently for department projects. After the screening, I didn't hear back for about a week, so I had to follow up. Then, I was invited for a group, in-person interview. I met with HR, Finance, and a few team members. They again mentioned urgent needs due to upcoming events. I was then asked for references and my salary expectations, which were within their range. I followed up twice over two weeks asking for clarification on why I wasn't selected, but I never got any feedback.

So they had two people call me and ask me general questions like why CLASP, but then they asked really specific questions about the job description. It was a bit discouraging because I don't have experience in those qualifications, and this is supposed to be an entry-level job where they don't expect experience but seem to want it based on their very, very specific questions.

Got a reply from the recruiter and hiring manager about the next steps pretty quickly. The interview was set up about a month after I applied, and the decision took another month because it was over the holidays.
