I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Paramount (New York, NY)
Interview
Received an email for an interview, scheduled it for later that week. Interview went wonderfully, really connected with who I would be replacing and working under. The next day I received a call from the hiring manager who wanted to schedule a meeting with me. We did so for the next week - interview with her was a little more stiff. Company then took a month to get back to me only after weeks worth of contact and checking in, this felt very rude to me.

Interview
I met with HR, then the hiring manager. I enjoyed my interview with HR more than the hiring manager as HR interview was focused on job qualifications and hiring manager interview was essentially a vibe check. Hiring manager rescheduled my interview at the same time as it was supposed to start. It seemed like the goal for this role here is a personality hire. Was told verbatim that the hiring manager was not looking for someone who was interested in growth within the department, because their previous assistant was not interested in growth, and that assistant left because of the in-office requirement of the role.

Interview
The interview process was fine, nothing I would describe as amazing but usually the bigger the company the less they work to make the process human. The person interviewing was very kind however the follow up process is nonexistent and can be slow.

incredibly and unnecessarily long process for an entry level role
