The first discussion with HR went well, and the interview with the Hiring Manager was acceptable. They mentioned a decision within 10 days. Despite reaching out to the hiring manager and having acquaintances within the company contact them as references, there was no response at all. Experiencing complete silence was disappointing, especially after being assured it was a positive workplace. I value professionalism, and it's disheartening when the interview process concludes with being ignored, as true professionals typically maintain communication.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Columbia Bank (Portland, OR) in Aug 2015
Interview
Talked to multiple managers in the group after the phone screen. Spoke to several members of the management team and some associates. Everyone was very nice and asked good questions.
