I applied for one position, and the recruiter felt I was better suited for a higher position. The recruiter set up a panel interview, and then all the leadership I was supposed to meet with called out sick. (no communication) I wound up interviewing two sets of people from different groups. (clearly, this was an inconvenience for them at the last minute) Each set of interviewers indicated a different timeline for follow-up. Despite numerous follow-ups with the recruiter based on the timetable that was conveyed, I was ghosted and then got a blanket rejection letter.

I recently went through the interview process at this company, and it was great. It started with a phone call where we discussed my background and goals. After that, I was invited for a second interview, which included a tour of the site. Meeting the team in person and seeing the workplace firsthand was really insightful. Shortly after, I received a job offer and began the onboarding process. Overall, it was smooth and positive.
