I applied online and a few days later a recruiter contacted me to set up a phone screening. We scheduled a time and the recruiter called 10 minutes late without letting me know. It's understandable that things happen, but they didn't even apologize, which was a major red flag. Then, they just talked about the company's bottom line, which was another red flag. After that, we ended the call and I decided not to proceed.

I started with a phone interview with the hiring manager. A few long weeks later I had the chance to come in for an interview and spoke with every individual in the marketing department, I assume to make sure I was a good fit with everyone. I had to wait a few weeks after the final interview, again, it was painful having to wait when I felt the job was a great fit. They asked me a lot of questions but I never felt like they were grilling me.

Behavioral Presentation

The interview process took about 2 months to complete, which felt long, but in hindsight, it was great because I met everyone I'd be working with. This way, I wasn't going into the job unsure about the team or management. Even though it took a while, I'm glad it was so thorough.
