I applied for this job way back in May 2025. After the initial confirmation email, I didn't hear anything until January 2026 when they scheduled a virtual interview. On the interview day, I got an email 30 minutes before it started with 9 questions. I had prepared for basic customer service and job posting-related questions, but the actual questions were totally different, which made me super nervous. During the interview, I found out the two managers had only been there for 6 months or less. They were nice, though. But with the long wait and the new management, I wasn't surprised to get rejected on a Saturday morning.

The interview process was long and ended without any resolution. I applied in early October and heard back towards the end of the month for an initial recruiter phone screen. The following stages, which included a panel interview, a work sample task, and a final hiring interview, proceeded quite rapidly. My primary frustration is reaching the final stage only to receive no further updates, even after following up with the recruiter. Initially, I was given a specific date for candidate updates, but after that date passed without any communication, I heard nothing more. I had a positive impression of everyone I met and the initial three interview stages were good experiences. However, I was ultimately dissatisfied with the lack of communication and basic courtesy following such a lengthy and involved interview process. My suggestion is to only pursue interviews if the job is a "dream job," otherwise, in my view, their interview processes are excessively lengthy and complicated to be worthwhile.

First I had to do a test and got a score, then they told me I made it to the interviews. There were two rounds, both were virtual calls. It took about 2 months total, but that was also over winter holidays so it probably took longer. HR kept me updated, and the actual interview was with county employees who do the job.
