7 interviews, 1 test (that they never let me know they received), 2 month long process only to be ghosted - I emailed the person who scheduled my interviews to follow up and they said how would they know and to email a recruiter (never chatted with another person and they use autogenerated emails so can’t do that…), then the next week I guessed on an email for my would be manager to check in and they sent me a email back saying if there was an update they would’ve told me. I decided to be patient and three weeks later I got an email from a generic “Sirius XM” account saying “as you may be aware” the position was eliminated and to add them on LinkedIn! Signed, your pal Sirius XM. I get that companies restructure but 7 interviews is ridiculous even for a position they themselves described as basic help to keep other people from drowning under their current workloads. Towards the 5-7 interview I started hoping it wouldn’t work out - the interviews were stale, no signs of camaraderie and a clear need to scale business over establishing a good place to work.

It was a relatively straight forward interview given the job title and expectations - past experience, why you want the job, level of comfort/interest in news, politics, sports pop culture etc.

Over the phone interview with Program Director and Assistant Program Director. Pretty straight forward and enjoyable experience. Lasted for about 20 minutes. Also had to meet with Recruiter before this interview. Very straight forward.
