The team seemed nice and the process was pleasant. I had four interviews, but then they decided to consider other candidates. I asked for feedback since I put in time and didn't think I made any mistakes, but never heard back.

I got a call for a phone interview first. Then, they invited me to the REI campus in Kent for a one-on-one chat with HR and my supervisor. After that, I went back for another visit to meet the Department Manager.

I've interviewed for a few marketing jobs at REI and the process is really slow. The recruiters I've talked to are super unresponsive; like, tons of unanswered emails, calls, and voicemails. I even had the hiring manager's email and thought about CC'ing them, but decided to let the recruiter handle it. For a job paying six figures, I thought they'd be better at communicating with candidates, especially ones who get past a few interview rounds!
