I applied online. I interviewed at The RealReal (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2018
Interview
The Recruiter reached out to me to schedule a phone interview. I provided the times available as requested but he never got back to me. I followed up and then the interview was scheduled. The Recruiter was on a speaker phone and I couldn't hear the questions and I politely said I couldn't hear because he was on speaker. He came closer to the phone for a minute and then moved away and I couldn't hear or understand what he was saying. Very unprofessional and he was not interested in the call. Left a bad taste for me for the company.
Had a first round with HR, got positive feedback but she was going on leave so was handed to another person from the team and then ghosted. No response to several follow up emails.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The RealReal
Interview
Extraordinarily smooth and one of the best overall interview processes I've been through!! 15 min with the recruiter, then 30 min each with 2 team members and the reporting director. Finally, a 15-minute with the team reporting to the position (crucial)!! Everyone at TRR was very informative, gave plenty of time to answer questions, and ensured it was a good fit for BOTH sides. The recruiter was always accessible and kept me informed throughout the entire process. More companies should learn from TRR's hiring process.
