I applied online and got a call from them. They asked about my graduation and if I was interested in this role. We then set up a phone interview for the next week. I got an email confirming that the manager would call me at the scheduled time. But, the manager never called at the scheduled time. It's been two weeks, and they haven't reached out. Indeed confirmed they have moved on with their hiring process.

It was a pretty chill interview process with a local manager at one of the Northern IL offices (Oak Brook or Deerfield). The first interview was a phone call, then if you passed that, you had a video call, and the last step was an in-person interview to meet the team at the office.
