Behavioral Presentation

I went through a recruitment company for this, which was a really good experience. First, I had an interview with a group of senior people, and they were all really nice. Then, they asked me to do a task focused on communications, specifically a press release and a comms plan, which was round two.

The interview process was smooth! The people were all very nice and helpful when speaking about the job and the company. There were 3 rounds when I applied- recruiter, hiring manager, and people from the team. Went quickly and smoothly

It was a 3 interview process. First, a 1-hour phone call with a recruiter. Then, a 1-hour call with the director. Finally, a 1-hour in-person interview. Mediocre experience. They call you and act super interested, like they want you badly, but then just send a rejection email. A disgusting company, you should read and research its history and press.

I sent in my application and the hiring manager reached out to me pretty quickly. We chatted for about 30 minutes over the phone. It was a pretty normal conversation, and she seemed nice. She mentioned she'd follow up, but I haven't heard back yet.
