Circa 2019: Well networked with the company and strong connections to current employees. I progressed through several conversations with different recruiters/leaders. The most challenging aspect to me was that there was no obvious structure to the interview process. The recruiters were obviously looking for something but did not provide context that would support data collection about my skills, abilities or work style. Pro: ample time for questions and relaxed, conversational interview. Timely follow-up and coordination of next steps. Great communication and friendly people. Con: Most of the "interviews" seemed like free-form rifting on "Tell me about yourself" with no guidance or framing. Was unclear if they wanted to hear about my career path, goals, professional accomplishments, work style etc. I asked qualifying questions, but received little feedback so my answers were free form and unstructured. I frequently either attempt to gauge whether what I'm offering is helpful or addressing the question and they assure me I'm doing fine, but their follow on questions continued to lack clarity. Their approach seemed distinct from Amazon-type interviews where interviewers often attempt to mask their reaction (good or bad) to how you're interviewing and the process left me feeling like there was no way they could know what I was capable of or had accomplished and I hadn't had a chance to articulate or showcase my ability.

Scheduled for a phone interview that never happened. Recruiter had time zone incorrect for first interview. She rescheduled the following day and did not show. Is also ignoring emails.
