The interview process was very clear. The interview lasted about 30 minutes and provided me with much detail about the job posting. The job description was not super clear, so it was nice to get clarity during the process. I sent a follow-up email but never heard back after two weeks.

I had several team interviews that went well, and the recruiter was responsive. Then, I was asked to come in person for an interview. After this interview, I never heard back from the recruiter, even though I reached out. I thought this was very unprofessional because they could have just let me know I wasn't selected.

It was a pretty straightforward interview process with simple questions. You just need to show you're motivated, and it's not hard to get hired. I was asked if I had prior experience as an associate, but since it was my first job, I didn't. The manager who conducted the interview was apparently not great and didn't handle the questioning well.
