I was interviewed by just the marketing manager. It felt like a pretty challenging interview. The manager was looking for someone who had a good mix of skills, like video and other things, not just writing. I kind of realized pretty early on that I might not have all the skills they were looking for. The interviewer was very professional, and we didn't really click. But I don't have any issues with how the interview went or the questions that were asked.

Behavioral Technical
The interviews themselves were fine, and the people I met seemed pleasant enough, but their in-house recruiters were terrible. Their communication was really unprofessional, and they struggled to schedule interviews. I wouldn't hear back for several days after suggesting various times, and then suddenly they'd send an interview schedule late in the afternoon for an interview unexpectedly early the next morning. To top it off, their rejection email was frankly insulting, stating they decided to move forward with a qualified candidate. After going through two interview rounds, one lasting over 4 hours, I have to wonder what exactly I was doing there if I wasn't qualified.

Had a phone screen that was just a list of yes-no questions. Then, I had an on-site with a bunch of friendly chats with people. The hiring manager was super nice and said I was too qualified and would probably get bored.

It was multiple rounds. I spoke with the hiring manager, dept head, and a couple of people from the culture committee. It was a bit strange that I didn't get to meet the person I'd be working with directly. Two of the four interviews were pretty professional and informative.
