I sent in my resume and had two phone interviews. The first interview went well, and HR scheduled an interview with a director for the following week. The director forgot about the interview entirely. After I followed up, we rescheduled for two hours later. She remembered that interview but was clearly in a rush. She asked me to tell her about my job history and then if I had any questions. The interview (which I prepared for for days) lasted 12 minutes. I was told HR would be in contact with next steps. Never heard a word, even when I followed up. The whole thing was a huge waste of my time and incredibly rude.

I went through 2 phone calls. One from HR for screening, and then one with someone on the team regarding the position. For the first call, the recruiter was late to call by a half hour, and did not acknowledge that at all. She seemed disinterested, and was not very engaging, though she was still much better than the second call I went through. The person on the second call did not introduce herself, explain her role, or even explain the position until I asked her. She wasn't very friendly and seemed cocky. She said that I would get a follow-up writing test, but at this point I am incredibly disinterested in the position and will not be proceeding. I have no idea how this place gets on Best Places to Work lists...Chicago workplaces must have VERY low standards.
