Interview
Phone screen with recruiter --> Interview with hiring manager --> Panel interview with team --> Final interview with AVP.
Enjoyable conversations and everyone here is very welcoming and warm. They ultimately went with another candidate as this was a very competitive position, but I learned a lot and I appreciated the consistent communication from both the hiring team and the recruiter throughout. I never had to wait more than a week between updates and their final rejection email was warm and professional.
