I went through five interviews with about seven employees, all in a behavioral format. Everything went pretty smoothly until the final stage when the recruiter stopped responding. I felt the Director team was kind of arrogant.

Coding Technical
Muck Rack's interview process was super organized and they told me what to expect from the get-go. I knew exactly how many interviews there would be if I kept going, which helped me figure out how much time I'd need to commit and how long the whole thing might take. I figured it could drag on a bit, with one interview a week. I really wanted this job, so I knew I might have to pass on other offers that came in. It was cool to meet different people I might work with, and I liked that they really put effort into finding people who would be a good fit for the job and the company.
