I applied online. I had a screening with HR that lasted about thirty minutes. They asked me to go through every role I had and explain why I left each company. I didn't get to talk about my skills or how they fit the job. We just went through the list and at the end, they basically said I didn't have the basic qualifications. I got an automated rejection email a few weeks later. I was really excited about the company's mission, but I was disappointed by how negative the recruitment process felt.
