Super smooth process, they were really good at keeping me in the loop, and even gave me detailed feedback without me asking. I was really impressed by how much they seemed to value the time and effort candidates put into their applications. They made me feel well-considered.

Behavioral
Phone interview was scheduled by a junior staffer, then it was changed, then the interviewer thought it was at a different time than confirmed. First round was fine, I sent a thank you email, and never heard back from anyone. 1-2 months later I emailed the interviewer to follow up (I didn't want the job anyway at that point), who apologized and said they hired an internal candidate.
