Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I was initially contacted by HR for a phone interview with the hiring manager. After a 30-minute phone call, he mentioned that he would like to bring me in for a day on campus.

The daylong interview consisted of many 1:1 interviews with members of the hiring team. At the end of the day, I was told that they would be in contact with me about their decision.

Within a week, I received an email from the same HR coordinator saying they were looking for someone with more experience, but that my information would be kept on hand in case another position opened where I might fit in.

Overall, the experience was very simple and great. HR was responsive and very organized, the interviewers were all on time and skilled, and the campus is something to behold.
