Interview
After submitting my application, I was immediately emailed asking to set up an interview. The interview was easy enough and went smoothly. I was told that I would hear back in less than a week. When two weeks went by, I reached out and was told that they were still making decisions. Two more weeks passed, and I finally received an email asking for a follow-up interview. I immediately emailed back with the times that I was free. I didn't hear back in almost a week, so I reached out again and we scheduled for the following week. Then she cancelled the interview 10 minutes before the arranged time because of a meeting and said she would email me the next day to reschedule. I was cordial and respectful, and I told her that I understood. She didn't email me the following day, so I emailed her and we planned for the following week once again. Then she emailed me late in the evening the night before the interview was scheduled saying that they were no longer looking for interns. I spent 4 weeks trying to make a second interview happen only to be told the position was filled after being strung along. The entire process felt extremely unprofessional and frustrating.
I applied for the position online, and a couple weeks later was asked to come to the office for an in-person interviewer. My interviewer was very friendly and easy going, and our meeting was anything but intimidating. We talked over specific parts of my resume, and standard questions were asked such as "Why are you interested in working here?" and "Where do you see yourself in five years?". My interviewer even gave me a tour of the office afterwards and introduced me to employees (and even some of their pets). Everybody was extraordinarily gracious, and the entire process only took 20-30 minutes.
