Applied online and was contacted within a few weeks. Scheduling went smoothly. Had a phone conversation with HR, which was very thorough and pleasant. I really appreciated how well HR knew the role, the team, and the interview process. The conversation added a great deal to my understanding of the opportunity, which is unusual for these screening calls. Even after the call, HR had great follow-through.
A few days after this call, I was informed via email that I was not selected to move forward. I would have appreciated a bit more personalized feedback in that note, but most companies don't do that so I can't fault them for it.
Overall interview process was great.
