I had previous experience working with the team, so the first few rounds of interviews with the HR person and hiring manager were very simple and straightforward, just making sure that I was willing to move locations and checking in around the salary. The most formal interview I had was the panel interview to give a job talk. It was 30 minutes, 12-ish people, and there was only time for 2 questions at the end and everyone had to go. The process drawn out with months between interviews.

Interview
I was contacted about 2 weeks after submitting my application online. Spoke with the recruiter and she gave some good information and guidance on the process. The same day I received an email from the hiring manager to discuss the role but via phone instead of their standard Teams meeting. The phone call was about 45 minutes long, however, I was not asked much which leads me to believe this was a filler interview and they already had a candidate in mind. I followed up a week later and never heard anything. It’s was disappointing to be ghosted by a company like this.
