Interview
The interview process was a mess. I participated in three rounds of interviews. The final two interviews were both scheduled the day before, which meant that I had to rearrange my entire day on less than 24 hours notice. Each time I was told "this is really the only chance for you to speak with the panel." After the third and final interview, I was told I'd hear a decision either way within two weeks. I never heard back. I actually followed up twice with the hiring manager to politely ask if I was still under consideration. Not a word. It felt very disrespectful of my time.
