It was a pretty good and friendly conversation with a nice interviewer. They asked several questions about my resume, but no in-depth puzzles. I strongly recommend this for other job seekers. I received an invitation for a second round interview, which will probably be next week or the week after.

Got contacted by the internal recruiter. Had a few phone calls, then a video interview with the hiring manager. Next, I had another video interview with a stakeholder. After that, I had in-person interviews with four senior managers for about 2 hours. They were good with communication at first, but then it went silent after the third round. I finally got an automated rejection email after a month. It was unprofessional and a waste of time.

First they'll call to get your basic info and tell you about the job and company. Then, a week later, there's an in-person interview in midtown. The phone call is about 1-2 hours to get to know you. After that, the in-person interview is one-on-one, but it feels like they're looking for a perfect match. If you're not who they want, they'll say you need passion for the job, not just money. WTF, passion? Living in NYC is about survival, money is the first thing. People come for fun?
