Streamlined. Three Steps: 1st Step - Phone interview with Recruiter; 2nd Step - HR interview, 3rd Step - Interviews with marketing team members including the direct supervisor. I found the cultural attitude to be somewhat arrogant, and overly aggressive. I had diverse commercial work experience in mining, security, and other commercial industries and there seemed to be little acknowledgement of the business value-add/perspective that I could bring to the table. I was told that I didn't get the offer because I was "too friendly", despite my consistent success with my career progression in crossing industries, obtaining higher level positions, and repeated senior management recognition in different companies. I didn't realize that one cannot do business successfully, with a smile. (I question whether or not my being female was a bias at play. I don't know if this is valid or not at the company.)

This place takes themselves too seriously, in terms of interview process. They took up a total of probably 15 hours of my time in interviews, plus two full days traveling and a background check prior to finding out if they were even going to make an offer. A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. Did an hour long screen with the recruiter, who then asked me to formally apply for the job. Then had SIX, count them, SIX hour-long phone screens with different stakeholders and the hiring manager. After that, they insisted that I fly out to Chicago for an all day set of onsite interviews with FIVE more stakeholders. Mind you, this is all for a remote position. So it was odd that I needed to fly in for people who were not the hiring manager. Each of the above seemed to shift, schedule-wise, at least twice due to internal communication issues between the panel and recruiters. Most interviews were scheduled with less than 24hrs notice. The process of booking travel was also pretty clunky, they did not cover anything but a lower end hotel (1 night) and airfare. Everything else was out of pocket, which is a consideration since you’re already giving them 2 days of your unpaid time. I'll also note that at first they wanted me to both travel and interview on the same day (which would have been about a 20 hour day without a break) and at no point did they ask me what flight times I'd prefer. It was just the least considerate process of an onsite requiring travel I've experienced to date. All the direct feedback I got from all ELEVEN people who interviewed me (in addition to the recruiter) was very positive and 100% contradictory to the blanket excuse the recruiter later emailed about why there would not be an offer. To be honest, it sounded like a veiled excuse to say they preferred to hire a man for the job. It was weird. And also, 100% of the people I was in contact with were men and had a very outdated attitude throughout the process. One of the people I met with also made some weird comments during a couple interviews about how they don’t care to match typical Silicon Valley values, inferring that they don’t value diversity and inclusion. Which was odd, to say the least.
