HR was very communicative and courteous. Based on team interview, felt like position was filled before my meeting with them or that team did not think I was a fit. Hard to tell.

I've interviewed for multiple positions in REI's corporate marketing department and the process is very slow. All recruiters I've been in contact with are very unresponsive (many unanswered emails, calls, voicemails). I had the hiring manager's email and debated looping them in but ultimately decided the recruiter should be handling this. For a salaried 6-figure role, I assumed they would take better care to communicate effectively with their candidates - especially those that make it past a second or third round interview!
