The interview process involved 4 interviews and took several months to conclude. Unfortunately, there was no resolution or communication regarding the final disposition. A simple courtesy email would have been appreciated given the time elapsed and the multiple times I committed to interviewing. Aside from the lack of follow-up, the overall process was okay.

The interview process started with a phone screening. Then, there was a 45-minute conversation with a manager and a director (who was the hiring manager). After that, I had a 30-45 minute partner interview, where I met with one or two partners. I did really well in the first two stages. In the final round, I only met with one of the partners. This person seemed really focused on bragging about the firm's growth and success, and how much better their work-life balance was compared to their previous job. They asked me questions that I had already answered in previous interviews. Overall, the interview itself went well, but then I got rejected the very next day via an automated email. They didn't give me any feedback. I honestly don't think they hired anyone for the role because my interview ended at 2:45 PM, and the rejection email came at 9:30 AM the next day. It felt like a complete waste of my time and energy, especially since I was genuinely excited about the job. It makes you wonder why they'd post a job and interview people if they weren't going to hire anyone.

The interview process was just a phone screen. Honestly, I didn't like the recruiter much. She went through my resume line by line, which felt weird because I'm so qualified. Then she told me to call back when I actually move to the cities I applied for (Chicago and LA), which are super expensive. Nobody moves without a job lined up first. I have a feeling I won't hear back, even if I do move. It was a total waste of time and I didn't even get to talk about myself or my experience. They could have just rejected my application so I wouldn't have to take time off work for a call that wasn't going anywhere.
