Interview
Applied online and was emailed for an interview. The HR assistant didn't seem to know what she was doing. I accepted the interview date but had to email her again the day before the interview to get information and confirm. I interviewed with her and two hiring managers. The interviewers were very nice and asked standard interview questions. Unfortunately I was never emailed about not getting the position and just had to assume, which was pretty unprofessional on HR's part.

Interview
Applied online, on the company's careers portal. Got called in for an interview with a member of the Production Team, who was very kind and down to earth. My experience in the interview was extremely positive, and the interviewer was responsive to communication after the fact. However, I was disappointed to see that the company chose to not inform me of a rejection, instead dropping contact after a week or so.
