      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I interviewed at Benefitfocus

      Interview

      It took 4 weeks to get the first phone screen with a recruiter who was late but apologized. I didn’t hear any follow up until someone called to say the position was on hold. This was 6 weeks after my first contact so I did not follow up.
