Interview
I applied online and received an email a few days later to set up an initial phone conversation/interview.
The interviewer was pleasant and knowledgeable about the company. First, he provided his background, talked about Via's expansion plans, and then moved into the core portion of the interview. He asked me normal background/resume questions before moving to specific business strategy ones. The phone conversation lasted about 30 min.
I sent a thank-you email within 24 hrs and received a standard rejection email within 1 business day. Via does not provide feedback on your interview or reasons for rejection.

This is also one of my personal top 10% unsatisfying interview experiences.
Applied via LinkedIn.
Scheduled by a recruiter to speak with the hiring manager.
Some behaviorals, then went straight to an (unexpected) mini-case. Was given some info and how I would approach making a decision based on the limited information. Was told I'd hear back within 3 days.
Basically ghosted. Waste of time. Felt like the hiring manager was just fishing for free strategy work. Doesn't help when you don't inform the candidate that there's a mini-case in literally the first conversation with someone at the company.
