Took about three weeks and two interviews. First was via zoom with AARP in house recruiter for over an hour and the second was via zoom with the department head for 30 minutes.

Applied online and after phone screen with recruiter, invited for on-site interview with hiring manager and select team members. Interviewers came with template of behavioral based questions that they read like a script without personality or context. It was odd. One of the interviewers rarely engaged with me, but rather sat there in judgement of my answers. While everyone I interacted with was professional, I had the sense I didn’t have the DNA they were searching for and it was not a match. I exited the process knowing I didn’t want to work there—it seemed rather stuffy and old school. They were prompt to close the loop and within a week I got my thanks, but no thanks message.
