Interview process is pretty easy. I interviewed with the store manager and was moved to the next step. The next day, received a call from the district manager and interviewed with him. And the same day, received a call from the store manager and was offered the job.

A robot scheduled the first call and then rescheduled it. An hour before the second scheduled call, it was rescheduled again. The emails stated not to reply. There was no human to speak with, making me wonder if a computer had gone rogue since the human scheduling system did not respect the time we initially scheduled. This is a very bad introduction for a senior position. Is this what is expected as an employee? Complete disrespect?

The whole thing took about three weeks to finish. I had several interviews with people from different levels in the department, all done virtually. Everyone I talked to was really nice and the interactions were positive. The interviews focused mainly on my previous experience and if I could meet the job's expectations.
