We had two interviews over Adobe Meeting Room. It felt pretty good, and they really went into detail about the job requirements. The questions didn't seem too tough.

Behavioral Technical Group Presentation

I applied online and then had an initial screen with a WGU recruiter. After that, my first interview was with a peer Product Manager. My second interview was with the Development Manager. Then, I had a third interview which was a panel with Design and UX. The fourth interview was with a Director, and the fifth was with a Manager. The time between each interview was a few weeks, and I had to reach out to the recruiter who is no longer responding to emails. Feedback was positive during the interview process; I really liked everyone I spoke to and bought into their mission. I felt like there's good work to be done, so I was considering a significant pay cut ($20k), but it's odd to invest four months in recruitment and then not have the basic decency to respond.

Presentation Behavioral

It took about 7 weeks to get through the interview process. There was a 90-minute tag team interview where I had to present for about 15-20 minutes. They said this was to help them make a decision, but 5 days later they said they weren't ready and I should take another offer I had. The recruiters were really disorganized.
