I really enjoyed the process from start to finish! After applying online, I was quickly contacted by the recruiter. He was extremely organized, well-informed, and helpful. I felt that expectations were clearly communicated at each stage of the interview process.
After a phone interview with the recruiter, I spoke with the hiring manager on Google Meet. He was great to speak with, and I felt he was prepared and engaged throughout the hour.
The final stage involved speaking with six people in a single day, each interview lasting 30-45 min. The first discussion was with a company ambassador, and that was a great opportunity to learn more about the company and get the gears turning for the interviews to come.
Each person that I spoke with was timely, easy to talk to, and made me even more excited about the role and company. While that many interviews in a row can be tiring, I genuinely enjoyed the experience!

Interview
I had a 30-minute call with a recruiter which went well. Then I had an interview with the hiring manager and it was one of the most unpleasant interviewing experiences I've ever had. He was condescending and odious and spent a lot of time talking about himself and his previous work experience. His behavior was a big red flag. I withdrew myself from consideration.
