The interview process involved several stages. It started with a telephone screening, followed by four more rounds. I was initially informed about three additional interviews, but then I learned they selected an internal candidate. The time commitment required for this process felt excessive and unethical, showing a disregard for candidates' time.

Applied online and about a month later, the hiring manager reached out to schedule an interview with her and another supervisor. It went well and was professional. Then, a week after that, the hiring manager called to invite me for an in-person interview at the Dallas office, covering travel costs. I met the team and saw the tools and procedures for pipeline condition assessment jobs. Two weeks after that, the hiring manager let me know I got the job and HR was working on the offer, which was good.
