I got a call about 2 months after applying, but weirdly, no email or anything beforehand. The initial call went fine, so they set up a Zoom interview. Honestly, it wasn't really what I was looking for. I tried emailing them after, but they never got back to me. I never even got a message saying they picked someone else or any feedback.

I reached out to a current District Sales Manager who then connected me with HR for an online application and tests. After that, I met with him, and then I was told to wait. I followed up multiple times to get an interview with the VP of Sales. The interview went well, and I was informed HR would contact me. I then interviewed with another person and HR. After several weeks of calling, I was told they were not hiring.
