Interview
Seems like a good company to work for with the benefits and compensation and they have a lot of job postings but a lot have been open for a year+ and so it seems like they constantly interview. The job requirements kept changing from round to round and the job description was not very accurate. Everyone I had spoken to was pleasant. It was 4 rounds total including an in person interview and a project. It took about 2 months from the initial call from the recruiter to the rejection call.

Interview
really poor organisation in my honest opinion. recruiter called twice, forgetting she even called me before. had the same email from two different recruiters and sent the same information 3 times? hiring manager came off rude and didn't really care for what i said when answering her questions. i didn't fit in at all and gave me a really negative impression overall.
Had me do 3 interviews and then sent a generic email that I wasn’t a good fit. Picked apart my resume in a judgmental way. It felt like they were attacking my credentials.
