Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process started with a 30-minute screening call with an HR rep from Art + Wellness enterprises, who was very professional and helpful. Then, there was a 30-minute screening with the department's hiring manager. After that, I had a one-hour interview with members of the department team. Because some team members were sick, there was a written interview to keep things moving. The final step was an in-person interview at their office, which involved a one-hour presentation and Q&A session, tailored to the team's and hiring manager's needs.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process involved 3 rounds. The first was with the team I would be working with. The second was with a team focused on prospecting and data support. The final round was with the hiring manager. While everyone seemed friendly, the culture felt quite stressful. It took the hiring manager almost 8 weeks to finally meet with me after the process began. They also had a pattern of no-showing or rescheduling last minute.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process is pretty involved and nitpicky. Applying is simple but you gotta make sure to use keywords in your resume, cover letter, or whatever else you send in, otherwise the computer will just toss your application. If a real person actually looks at your stuff, then expect a bunch of phone interviews, then a bunch of in-person interviews that can take forever so don't plan anything else during that time. After the interviews, they might offer you the job, but for most people, you'll see the same job posting pop up again and again for months.

The interview process was scheduled quickly. The panel was great, and they seemed really interested in my project management skills, experience with exhibitions, and how I've worked with different teams. Everyone at Crystal Bridges was really nice and seemed to love working there. Even though the job wasn't the right fit for me, I'm sure they'll find a great candidate.
