I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at DEKA Research and Development in Jan 2022
Interview
I was interviewed by two HR members over the phone. I was very excited about this position when I got an interview offer. The first phone interview was rescheduled within an hour or two before it started. Noone called during the rescheduled interview, so I emailed and asked if I could reschedule again, I received a response 2 days later apologizing. No worries, I can do a third try. The third attempt at interviewing was with two HR employees, and I was asked why I was applying and why I was qualified. I had lots of applicable experience and was passionate about the field, and was told I would hear back for more interviews in a few days. Very exciting! However, multiple weeks passed, I emailed asking for updates, and even received rejections from other jobs at this company, but was ghosted about this position.
