Applied online in February and received no response until May. Had a phone interview with the hiring manager, which seemed to go well, but heard nothing back. In mid-July, I was contacted via phone and email and extended a job offer. Scheduled an interview with HR to discuss salary. After stating my salary expectations, they said they'd get back to me. As of September 1st, no further updates have been received.
