Only made it through the screening interview. I ultimately didn't have the specific experience the hiring manager was looking for. However, working with their internal recruiter was a great experience. She was not only kind, fun, and easy to talk to, but when I wasn't moved to the next round, she also sent me the most thoughtful rejection email I've ever received. She detailed the parts of my experience that they really liked as well as the reason why they weren't moving forward with me as a candidate. If the actions of the recruiter are a reflection of the rest of the company, then this would be a great place to work. It didn't work out for me, but I walked away with a very positive opinion of the company. And especially their recruiter.
The process was very straightforward and clear. I first had a recruiter call where he learned not only about my experience, but also what I wanted to do in my next role. It truly felt like a conversation, he was very warm and often referenced things I had shared during the call, which made it clear he was genuinely listening.
Next, I met with the hiring manager. She was very helpful in answering my questions and was transparent about what is going well, as well as areas of opportunity within the role. The following step was meeting with two other individuals on the team.
Unfortunately, I was ultimately not selected for the role, but the recruiter provided very clear and concise feedback on the decision, which I greatly appreciated. That level of transparency and effort is not always something recruiters take the time to provide. Wishing the team continued success!

Question 1
How do you provide support to leaders of different levels?
Off the bat, the communication throughout the process was really good. Until the end at least.
Applied and did a 45 minute recruiter phone screen off the bat. Hiring Manager interview followed. Went well, moved forward.
I then interviewed with two members of the team. Seemed like conversations went well.
Surprisingly though, both conversations asked the exact same things, yet were setup as separate 30 minute interviews. Seemed redundant and very rushed from my perspective. Had no time to ask any questions on my end at the end of the first 30 minute session. Why not do one panel for 60 minutes instead? Bad structure and execution.
Just rejected a few minutes before close of business a few days later.
Rejection email was the most self-righteous, pretentious drivel I have read in a long time. They tried to give some feedback, which I appreciate in spirit, but the manner in which it was written neglected differentiation that took place in my two 30 minute interview sessions, making it inaccurate and therefore irrelevant. For example, I had more time in the second interview, because the panelist was able to go over-time, therefore, I was able to flush out more detail in a few anecdotes vs. the first. Yet, the rejection claimed I answered a couple questions exactly the same in both, which is blatantly untrue--I had more time and flushed out more detail in the latter vs. the former.
Anyhow, the experiences others have had and noted here vibe with my own. Based on the wording of their email, this company believes they are special and unique in dealing with complex challenges in the 2026 business/workforce experience. This is far from the case.
