I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Employ (MA) in Nov 2022
Interview
The interview process was about 7 steps over the course of over the month, and included a 1-hour product presentation. It was an incredibly long and tedious process, and when they elected to not move forward with me, they didn't let me know. I had to reach out to them. They replied with a 2-sentence email from HR saying I hadn't been selected, but offered no feedback or explanation as to why.

Interview
3 interviews with different members of senior leadership. Each made the process comfortable and conversational rather than feeling like a one way interrogation. It was a good glimpse into how the organization treats people.

Question 1
Pretty standard interview questions. Nothing in particular stands out.
Applied online, recruiter reached out the next day to schedule a 30 mins phone screen.
Recruiter was late for close to 10 mins and did not provide any reason for being late. She didn’t sound interested at all throughout the interview process, and pretty much rejected me on the spot by saying they were looking for someone with more experience. When she was talking about their own product, it also sounded like she was not proud of it.
As expected, I got a canned rejection email the next day.
It was a very confusing interview. I get that they were probably sourcing people in the pipeline as backups or potential candidates for future roles, but it would have been better to set the right expectation at the beginning of the interview or reach out when there’s an actual role that fits the candidate. Also, please respect people’s time.
