Me postulé en línea. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Pursuant (Dallas, TX) en sep 2016
Entrevista
I applied online as well as introduced to a Pursuant employee through Linkedin. The first interview was a phone interview with HR, then another phone interview with the hiring manager. In both interviews i was told there was not a position available but they like to hire good people and always keep their positions posted. I was then set up to have lunch with two employees and then went back to the office to meet the hiring manager in person and talk with two more staff people.
In the end there was a position available but I was not offered that position. About 3 days later I received a phone call and was offered a position.

Very drawn-out process (4-5 interviews including the initial phone, unevenly frontloaded over 6-7 weeks). I was notified that the process was lengthy upfront, so fair play I guess, but still not really sure why this needed to take so long.
Interviews were "culture fit" in nature and a bit disrespectful of my time; I found it condescending to be so regularly reminded of how fast agency work is and then be asked the same questions over and over. again. Interview with direct report (Lindsay) was great, though, and I felt I had a better understanding of the role, the expectations and the challenges from my time with her.
Everyone was very pleasant, and the team was flexible about handling calls dropped due to connectivity issues, etc., but on the whole it was a frustrating process with weeks-long stretches without feedback. Got the standard "moving forward with other candidates" phone call weeks after my last interview.

An application online and then a phone call from a recruiter. Once I passed the call with the recruiter, I was scheduled for a 1-hour call with a hiring manager a week later. The hiring manager was abrupt and late to the call and there was noise in the background. I answered her questions completely and fully, but after 29 minutes, I was told that she had another call and that I wasn't right for the call. Not only did this come off as inconsiderate, but it also appeared that the hiring manager was in a hurry to get off the call and hadn't appropriately prepared for it.
