The interviews were all very friendly, but the process felt way too long and difficult. Even though it was for a mid-level role, it felt more like interviewing for a Director position. There were 4 interview rounds, and each had its own requirements. It's really disappointing to go through all of that and then not get the job offer. I think it would be better if they limited it to 2 interviews and found a way to get the results they need more efficiently. It's a struggle for us job seekers.

So the interview process had 4 steps. First, I had to do a self-recorded video where I answered some questions. Then, there was an initial screening with HR. After that, I had a one-on-one meeting with the hiring manager. The next step was a panel interview with 4 members, and finally, there was a final interview with a Director.

I applied for the role and within a week I got an email that I was moved onto the hiring manager. I needed to get their ok for interview. I was given a HireVue one-way video interview. I was on vacation. I made the 2-hour ride home, reviewed, practiced and prayed for hours. I completed the 4 questions - then crickets for over 3 weeks. Just to be told, thanks but no thanks. I have been searching for God's calling for my next career for almost a year. I really thought this was "it." Nope. I am trusting in His plan, which made waiting for weeks much more endurable.

  • If you are going to use HireVue (one-way, soulless way to screen people) please promptly follow-up. HireVue is painful.
