It was pretty chill and fast. They mainly asked about my past work history and where I worked. They were interested in why I left my last job and how long I was employed there, seems like they care about commitment.

Behavioral Other
I got an email back from HR the same day I applied. Had a quick phone chat, then went in for an in-person meeting with another EA and the Office Manager. HR emailed me the same day asking what I thought of the meetings. After six days of silence, I asked HR for an update and they said it was early days and they'd share more in two weeks, suggesting I reach out with questions. A little over two weeks later, I contacted HR again and it's now been a whole month with no word. I get that not everyone is a fit and no one's owed a job, but ghosting people like this is really bad PR.
