I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Petco (Rancho Bernardo, CA)
Interview
I did two video interviews with HR and a Senior Executive Assistant and then was invited up to their offices for three more onsite interviews with the person/persons that I would be potentially supporting.
I never heard back from them after sending them a "thank you" note and expressing my enthusiasm for the company and role. It's been almost one month, and I have not heard anything.
Very unprofessional.
