The interview process was quite long, involving at least 10 rounds of phone calls and in-person interviews. The people I met were nice. When I asked for feedback, they were open about it, but after I wasn't selected for the job, they wouldn't explain why or give any specific feedback.

I applied online and then got a call for an interview the very next day. I felt like I did really well during the interview, but unfortunately, I didn't get the job. Honestly, I kind of knew from the moment I walked in that it wouldn't be a good fit for me. It just seemed like the company lacked diversity, and it's wild because I actually saw a review mentioning the location I applied to being racist... so I guess that explains it.

They called me and we talked about salary expectations before I even came in for an interview. I told them not to bother scheduling one if their pay wasn't going to meet my minimum. They scheduled it anyway, and it actually went pretty well. They reached out the same day with an offer that was way lower than what we had talked about in person. I turned it down, so the next day they offered me my absolute lowest acceptable amount. They said they'd email me the contract and onboarding stuff the next day. It's been almost a week and a half and I haven't heard anything. They told me they took back the offer because they couldn't afford my skill level and would rather hire only the cheapest, worst employees. If you have any self-respect, don't apply here.

I arrived a bit before the scheduled time, they asked me a few questions and then I was done. Super fast and simple! I tend to get a bit anxious talking to people, but they put me at ease.
