Process
Phone screen with recruiter and then the department manager. The manager came off as cold and unfriendly and did not seem like the kind of person that would be enjoyable to work for. The interview question style was the typical "what are some challenges/where do you need to improve with your career" style. Overall, I would not recommend this company to others based on the interviewer's personality and attitude.

Not always great communication from the top. To their credit, they seem aware of this and are getting better. The company itself is large enough to be bureaucratic, so don't think this is a startup.
