The interview process was seamless and very smooth. It's a good environment to work in and it's clean. The organization really values its employees, and the team members are all very good at their jobs.

The recruiter reached out on Linkedin and we discussed an opportunity. He asked standard questions about my job search status and salary expectations. Then I went to the client's office for an in-person interview with their hiring manager. After that, I had a phone interview with the company they were sourcing for. She also asked about my background and usual questions. Then I had an in-person interview at the client's office which was a panel interview with 5 people. They asked similar questions and talked about the company's history. I also got a tour of the office. The employees seemed unhappy and the office ambiance felt depressing. However, the manager I interviewed with was energetic and knowledgeable. I declined the offer because the senior recruiter was too pushy and unprofessional, constantly contacting me at all hours. He wanted to know my thoughts on the company and if I would accept the position, even while I was still in my in-person interview. The younger recruiter was nice and easy to talk to. The whole process was very stressful, and I suggest a less aggressive approach.

I applied on LinkedIn and a recruiter contacted me in less than a week. We had a FaceTime interview on Wednesday and she said she'd get back to me by the end of the week, but never did. I emailed her a thank you and then again on Monday to follow up, still no response. I'm disappointed when they say they'll contact me and then don't. I was excited about the position and growth opportunities.

The hiring and interview process was actually enjoyable! I participated in 2 interviews, a phone screening and an in-person with multiple members of the team. My interviewee and I connected multiple times throughout the process and everyone was very transparent with their answers to my questions.
