I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy in Aug 2021
Interview
Recruiter discovered my profile online and reached out to me regarding several openings at Best Buy.
Began interviews for a Sr. Product Manager role within the week: passed initial phone screen + hiring manager interviews.
However, hiring manager was absolutely rude, and lacked even simple etiquette. For example, I was put on hold for 20 seconds at the start of my interview - and in the work assignment email, he/she didn't even bother writing "Hi X" - just a bunch of instructions.
I can't imagine how horrible working conditions inside would be.
