It was pretty standard, but took a few weeks. Started with a phone screening with HR, then an interview with the hiring manager. This was followed by a panel interview with 6 people I would be working with. I didn't get an offer, and I think it was because the job was posted as remote, but since I lived in Salt Lake and they were opening a new facility there, they changed the remote option. I pushed back on that, considering everyone I interviewed with or would be working with was remote.

Contacted 2 months after application. Recruiter cancelled twice last minute, had to reschedule. During the recruiter interview, they said I would definitely get to the next round and would get back the following week. Ghosted for a month after my emails and calls. Second interview, they said they would get back within a few days. After another month of being ghosted, got two automatic generic rejection emails.

I had an on-campus interview. The interviewer was really nice and tried to tailor the perfect position for me based on my past experiences and technical skills. The whole interview timing was flexible depending on how well the process went, but mine wasn't rushed, and the interviewer gave me plenty of time to chat and show how I'd fit into their company.

It was a straightforward phone interview. It started a bit weirdly when they tried to interview me for a job I didn't even apply for. But after they changed it, it ended up going really well, and I was sure I'd get a follow-up. It's been more than a month now, and even though I've emailed the interviewer a bunch of times for an update, I haven't heard back at all. It wouldn't take much effort to at least reply. It's a bummer because I'm really keen on joining this company because I love the product and its culture, and I've got exactly the experience they're looking for. I've interviewed a ton of people myself, and I know for sure you shouldn't ignore someone who's passionate about the company and has the right skills.
