Behavioral Technical

I applied online and then a recruiter reached out via email about a week later to set up an onsite interview. After that, another recruiter called to conduct a phone interview. The onsite involved interviews with two technical analyst managers and one of the current TAs. The interviews focused mainly on my past technical experience, with no actual technical questions asked. The interview seemed to go well, but I didn't hear back after following up for several weeks, not even to be told I wasn't selected. The recruiter completely stopped responding.

Behavioral Other

I had two interviews for the Analyst position. The first one was a general call, and the second was in person at their main office. I thought it was going well, but I didn't get the job. When I asked for feedback, they just sent a generic email saying they hired more qualified candidates, which felt pretty misleading after they'd asked about my salary flexibility in the second interview. Be cautious with this company.
