Intro = I applied for a role online (through Cricut's website / SmartRecruiters). The application was straightforward and easy to fill out. Given how excited I was about the role, I also sent LinkedIn messages to both the listed recruiter and the person I assumed I would be reporting to. I was pleasantly surprised that despite it being so close to the 4th of July holiday I received quick responses back from the recruiter and the hiring manager. The recruiter was amazing to work with. She and her staff were extremely responsive via email, and they also asked if I felt comfortable corresponding via text (which was so nice, as I felt keenly aware of the stops in my interview process).
Process = Initially, I had a phone interview with the recruiter, and then was asked to come in and meet with two members I would be reporting to (an in-person interview that happened only 3 days after my phone interview). They then asked me to come in for a follow-up interview with a panel of Legal/HR staff members (all in one interview) and then the CEO (which amazing to me that the CEO is involved in various interviews for positions like mine). They texted me as I waited a few days to hear the results of my interview, but then they called me, extended an offer (over phone and more in depth via email), and answered lots of my questions about benefits, start date, etc.
Overall, I have a very pleasant experience! A+
