The interview process was very direct and to the point. However, I am leaving a review because they failed to inform me about not getting the position, and I never heard back from them. This was quite unprofessional, especially considering it's a large company.

Had a great talk with the recruiter. Then I had an interview with the hiring manager. I sent my thank you emails but then I was completely ghosted. I didn't even get a thank you email but we have moved on to another candidate.

It was a very laid-back chat. We mostly chatted about TV shows we liked, what's trending in television right now, and my thoughts on specific programs. They also inquired about my past employment and the reasons for my departure from my present role.

I went through 3 rounds of interviews. First, I talked to HR, and then I had two interviews with directors. It was a pretty straightforward process, but unfortunately, even after getting to the last stage, I never heard back about their decision.
