Seemed very professional, typical interview, typical questions. I went to a meet and greet the night before. I didn't feel like I fit in well with the main interviewer, but everyone else was nice. There did seem to be a bit of a logistical issue when it came to contacting their recruits. After being told no, I got an e-mail from another employee at corporate asking to set up an interview. Then quickly got another e-mail telling me to disregard that first e-mail. I thought that was a little unprofessional, just adding insult to injury. But it did show me there definitely wasn't anything wrong with my credentials, they just didn't think I would fit in with their work culture, which is fine.

It consisted of a phone screen with HR followed by 30-minute virtual interviews with three others. Overall, the process was pretty smooth. I was surprised there was no in-person portion.
