The first interviewer was late and unprofessional, which set a bad tone. The second interviewer was pleasant but asked standard competency questions. I was told I'd get a quick response, but I never heard back, and the job was posted again. My application status on the portal still says 'In Process' after many weeks, which shows really poor communication.

I applied and heard back three weeks later for a preliminary interview. It went well, and they said I'd get a second interview. I picked a date and time from their options. On the scheduled day, they never called. I emailed and called them. Two days after I followed up, they got back to me, apologized, and rescheduled. Five minutes before the new interview, they cancelled again. It took another two days to find a new time. That interview finally happened with two people, and it went well. I never heard back after that, even though I emailed and called for an update. It felt very unorganized and like they had communication problems.

I had a phone screen with the hiring manager. Then I went for an on-site interview where I met with 5 people at different levels, including the hiring manager.
