I applied and heard back about 2-3 weeks later for an initial HR interview. Then, about a week after that, I had an interview with the hiring manager. It's been almost two months since that, and still no word from HR. I'm guessing it's a rejection. It's pretty wild that a company this big can't even give candidates an update. Especially annoying after talking to the hiring manager.

The interview process involved an initial phone screening with HR that lasted about 20 minutes and covered general questions about my background and availability. This was followed by a final round with the hiring manager, where we discussed the role and my qualifications in more detail. Finally, I received an offer call to confirm my interest in the position.
