The treatment was respectful and friendly, from talent acquisition to my direct managers. It had to be remote because it's a company that works entirely remotely, which is also a plus for everyone.

A recruiter reached out to me because they saw my resume. We had two phone calls, and then they invited me for an in-person meeting. I went in three separate times to meet with three different hiring managers. The first manager asked me about my background. The second one didn't seem that interested, and I felt like I was wasting my lunch break. The third manager's interview was more of a casual chat to see if I'd fit the team. We had a good conversation, and she told me what the job involves day-to-day. Unfortunately, at the end, she said she didn't think she had the budget for my salary requirements, which was frustrating since I'd already told the first recruiter my salary needs. I got an offer from the first hiring manager, and later found out they had meetings to rank candidates.

I had a phone interview that lasted about 45 minutes. Then I had an in-person interview with two people for about 30 minutes. After that, I had another phone interview that was about 15 minutes long. All the interview stages were super relaxed and casual, which made me feel really at ease.
