Interview
After completing the digital interview, I had three phone interviews over the course of three weeks. Process was quick and well organized. I enjoyed all of the people I interviewed with and was excited about the position, and was offered the job. Unfortunately, the salary offered was much too low to make up for the extremely expensive and less than impressive health insurance package, so I had to decline.
When I called back to decline the offer, the recruiter asked if I'd consider a sign on bonus to make up for the low salary, to which I said yes. I was told she would discuss with the hiring manager and follow up with me - yet two days later I got a generic/system generated email letting me know the position had been filled.
I was a bit surprised and disappointed by the way that was handled.

Interview
Good detail provided on the role. Clear hiring process was communicated. I was advised there are a lot of people applying for roles here that only a few get interviews.
I found the job posting on LI, which included the LI estimated pay range and the pay range provided by the company for certain states. I applied and the next day received an invitation to do a HireVue video screening, which is more of a performance than an interview and stressful even as a usually confident interviewee. I submitted it and a few days later I got an email asking for my availability to interview with the hiring manager. We scheduled it for a week out. In between, a recruiter called me out of nowhere and asked me for a salary range. I had put negotiable in my application, which was true. I was surprised and asked her to give me their range, which she said she couldn't do and talked around how it's so large a range that it wouldn't be helpful and again asked my target. So I gave her a number at the top of the range they'd shared for residents of CO. She said we're probably too far apart and that I should be pulled from this one and then proceeded to tell me the exact number the hiring manager is targeting that she had previously said she couldn't share and then tried to tell me that LI ranges are auto-generated and unreliable. I had to direct her to her own job description to see that it was supplied by them and ask if they're misrepresenting their salary ranges? She said she's not able to make any changes about the salary ranges posted and that she hopes this doesn't sour me on continuing to apply to the company because they're a Fortune 100 major employer. But honestly, if they don't have any feedback mechanisms to listen to their people (i.e., act on her feedback that the range they provide is not even close to accurate -- a 50K difference) then maybe the company culture isn't that great either.
