I sent in my application online, then went to the office for an interview. Two days later, they called me to say I got the job. I started two weeks after getting the offer.

This person spent more time talking about the company than actually getting to know me. Anytime I spoke to them, I felt like they were waiting to answer instead of actually listening to me. They also brought up something in the interview that is extremely unprofessional. It felt like I was at an informational interview about the company. I read over these reviews before I went to the interview and should have followed my gut and listened. The interviewer didn't even say goodbye and I had to email a few times just to find out about the hiring timeline.

Behavioral Technical

The hiring process felt unprofessional. Multiple employees reached out to me multiple times about open positions. Each time, it seemed to come down to me and one other candidate. I expected a professional decline since I had interviewed with the same people before, but they didn't do that. They said they'd contact me in two days, but I waited almost a week for a response. The email I received was uncomfortable, and there was no phone call. Considering I had met with the same interviewers multiple times, I was hoping for a personal and apologetic phone call, regardless of whether I got the job offer. It was just a bit too unprofessional for me.

I had an initial interview, and they said they'd contact me within three days. It took them two weeks to get back to me. Then, they scheduled another interview, but I never heard back from them again, and it's been almost three weeks since. It felt unprofessional and like a waste of time. Really inconsiderate.
