The first call with the recruiter went well and it seemed that the recruiter and I were on the same page. With that being said, I heard no feedback for almost a full month, even after following up. At that point I figured they went another direction and moved on. Lo and behold, the recruiter reaches out a month later to schedule a phone call with a manager for second round. Ok, sure. The person I interviewed with was incredibly awkward over the phone and got kicked out of the conference room they booked before the phone call was over (less than 30 minutes!) I didn't have the opportunity to ask any of the questions I had prepared for the interviewer, which was incredibly frustrating. I followed up via email asking if it would be possible to set up a little extra time so I could ask the questions I had prepared. Radio silence. ANOTHER 2-3 weeks go by and I hear that a different team wants to interview with me. I set it up, interview, and then hear nothing again. I think I followed up 3-4 times before I got a generic rejection email. It took almost two months to get through three phone interviews... incredibly unorganized, not very professional. I get if the company is understaffed, but when a candidate is going out of their way to prepare for the interviews, know and understand the company, and take time away from their job to prepare for/schedule each round, a simple email explaining the rejection would've sufficed. It was like pulling teeth.

I applied through the website and received an email asking to schedule a phone interview, about a week later. I was not called when scheduled and had to email to reschedule. The phone screener called on time for the 2nd try and we spoke for 25 minutes. I did get asked questions about things that were important for the position, though not included in the job description, which was disappointing.
