I applied for a marketing job and got an interview request the same day. A few days later, the recruiter spoke to me on the phone and sort of laughed when I stated my salary expectations. This was weird and insulting because 1. Their website brags about good compensation, so why not deliver? 2. My requested salary was reasonable given the job duties, my background, and market comparisons on Glassdoor; in fact, I'm now earning much more elsewhere, proving my request wasn't outlandish. 3. The job posting seemed to combine entry-level and mid-manager tasks, but they said they wanted someone more senior. So they advertised an entry-level title but wanted a senior person and offered below entry-level pay? That doesn't make sense... A few weeks after they failed to find a "more senior" person (no surprise there), they contacted me again, and I then spoke with the manager I would've reported to, who was also quite puzzling.

Applied for a Data Analyst job in late 2016, followed up a week later with no response. About a month later, I followed up again and HR contacted me the next day. I had a phone interview with the recruiter which went well. Then, I had a second phone interview with the hiring manager, which also went well. The recruiter called back and said they wanted me to come in for a third interview on-site, and promised to call on Monday with a date. I was travelling 4+ hours for this, which I was happy to do because I like the company. I completed their Excel test and sent it back the same day. The following week, the recruiter didn't call back as promised. I emailed her twice and then received an automatic rejection letter with no explanation. I emailed her and the hiring manager and finally got an answer: they found someone they liked better, sorry, but I should keep applying because I'm a good candidate. A year and a half later, mid-2018, another job opened up in Charleston. I noticed the recruiter was still there and had been promoted, so I emailed her again with my updated resume and expressed my continued interest. That was two weeks ago and I haven't heard anything. A friend of mine had the same experience with the same person, and they are highly qualified. It's a great company otherwise, but this lack of professionalism is really bad. I would have loved to work there, but this experience has soured me.

I applied and got an R test which wasn't too difficult. After that, I had two interviews. The first was shorter, with an Analyst. The second one was longer, about 1-2 hours, and had a mix of analysts and management. I got the offer after the second interview. The second interview had both technical (conceptual) and behavioral questions.
