Started with clear, quick, standard initial communication. After the phone screen and in-person interview, I felt pretty good, and the recruiter said all feedback was positive. Then I was in a holding pattern with no explanation or communication - turns out there was a massive re-org. By the time I had another phone interview a month later with a new manager, I lost interest. That second interview was also much more focused on direct knowledge of cybersecurity, which they previously said I could learn and experience wasn't required. The office is pretty nice. The sales floor is set up like a typical Bain sales floor, so if that's not your environment, keep looking.

The process was pretty standard. First, a recruiter called, then I spoke with the hiring manager. After that, I had an onsite interview that lasted a few hours, where I met with several employees. Finally, there was a call with leadership. It was a really professional process, and I enjoyed working with their recruitment team. Even though I accepted another offer, it wasn't because of anything negative about this company's process. They were very considerate and professional, which says a lot about their culture. I'd definitely recommend this company.

I interviewed twice and both times went through the whole recruiter phone screen just to be told they weren't sure if the job was still open. The first person got back to me, but the second one never did and was super late for our call. Felt really disrespectful of my time.
