It was a standard interview process. First, I spoke with a recruiter over the phone about general stuff. Then, I met with the hiring manager to discuss the job details and requirements more. Finally, I had a meeting with the department director that felt pretty similar to the first interview.

Had a quick 30 minute call. It was all about personality questions, nothing about my work history. They said they'd get back to me by the end of the week, but I never heard back. I've sent a few emails and still nothing. Really disappointing experience, especially for an HR company.

I applied online and then got called for an initial quick interview. After that, they invited me back for two more rounds. They told me the minimum salary for the role upfront and I shared my salary expectations. In the end, they offered me a salary lower than their stated minimum, giving a lot of excuses and saying unprofessional things, like how they can't pay market value because they're a startup. They expect experienced, strategic HR people but want to pay them like entry-level transactional HR staff.

I had 3 really in-depth Zoom interviews. The whole process and how they communicated was super smooth. You could really get a feel for Puzzle's great company culture right from the first chat. Everyone I talked to was both professional and friendly. It was a genuinely great interview experience overall.
