The process took 2 months. First, I had a call with the HR manager. Lovely conversation. Moved on to hiring manager interview which was decent. There were a couple of questions that were a little difficult to answer. However, the hiring process was not organized. There was no mention of a panel interview until a week after the interview concluded with the hiring manager. Then I had to complete a questionnaire to help guide the panel members to ask questions, but it was clear that they didnt use those questions in the interview and that they were looking for the right fit, versus someone that is qualified. I got asked 9 questions when they made it clear it would be 6, so I assumed they were very interested. I could have interpreted that wrong and that's ok. However, I was told to call the hiring manager a few days after the interview who told me I wasnt extended an offer. A couple of times during this process, individuals implied that the HR manager was not good at their job even though the HR manager gave me no reason to believe that. It was clear that the company has growing pains and is still figuring things out. I just dont like feeling as though I was a guinea pig and test case for their interviews. An email would have more than sufficed or a call directly to me rather than being asked to call them to hear this news. We are adults and can accept bad news and move on. Maybe I dodged a bullet. The company does amazing work so I know whoever gets this position will enjoy it.
