I applied on 12/19, and then had my first interview on 3/10. After that, they requested referrals on 3/19, and I sent them over the next day. They initially said they'd get back to me between April 4th and 11th, but then they emailed me on 4/9 to let me know they chose another candidate.

Behavioral Group
I went through the interview process for a contractor role. It started with a recruiter call, followed by an in-person group interview. Everyone I met was nice and things moved pretty fast. They did check references, which I thought was a bit much. I got good feedback but no offer in the end. Honestly, it didn't feel like they respected my time or my network's time much.

Behavioral Presentation
It was a Zoom panel interview with 3 people: 1 HR person and 2 museum staff. All questions were situational, many about handling difficult situations and resolving them. Turns out there's a strict hierarchy where new hires start at coat check or directing people, while long-term employees get the better admission desk jobs. They seem to take themselves way too seriously.
