I had a virtual interview that was easy to schedule. They provided good information about the company and how it works. They listened to my answers and didn't ask anything tricky. It was a positive experience overall.

I had a preliminary interview with someone from their corporate HR. Then, I had an on-phone interview with the CEO and the HR representative. After that, they scheduled an in-person interview. I went to the in-person interview, and they said they liked my questions and would call me in a couple of days, but they never did. I followed up with thank you emails and inquiries about the process, but received no response. I was quite disappointed, as I thought it went well and found their lack of response and communication unprofessional.

I was sent an email to do a recorded interview, the questions were easy and you had a chance to re-record if you wanted to redo it. After that I was sent an email for a soft skills test, pretty basic and then a personality questionnaire, only two pages. Shortly after I was emailed an interview time with the hiring manager for a Teams call. It went really well and by the end of the interview she asked me to send her three references and that I would hear back the following week. My references got back to me saying that they had completed the reference. I heard nothing for 4 days and followed up with an email to the recruiter, they said the hiring manager was still interviewing and I will hear back by Friday. I heard nothing and email that Friday, still nothing. I was completely ghosted.
