Behavioral Technical Presentation
There were about 5-7 rounds total, which took nearly a month, and that was the tiring part. But the interview process itself was engaging; the interviewers were friendly and made sure the environment was comfortable. Everything else was good, and they were quick to answer any questions I had.

Behavioral Technical
Applied for the job over a month ago and heard back from a recruiter via email. Had an interview with the recruiter and then was moved to a second round with the hiring managers a few days later. The direct supervisor was monotone and unenthusiastic but mentioned overtime is expected due to current organizational issues needing cleanup. The interview with the department director went well, and I was told I'd hear back in 1-2 days. It's been two weeks with no word, so I'm assuming no offer was extended. While that's okay, some courtesy communication of the decision would have been appreciated.

I applied and a recruiter reached out to schedule an interview, which was great. The interview itself was supposed to be an hour, but the interviewer seemed rushed and uninterested from the start. Despite my attempts to keep the conversation going, he gave very short, unengaging replies. He asked a general question about my resume and then cut the interview short by about 45 minutes, not asking any follow-up questions about my experience. He also gave very brief, unhelpful answers when I asked about the company. It felt like he was just going through the motions, and ending the interview so abruptly was unprofessional, especially since we barely spoke. I left without knowing the next steps.
