Interviewed and No Offer

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Boston, MA (took 1+ week)

I first had a phone screen with the recruiter, then a phone screen with the hiring manager. I met several people in the course of the first round of 1:1 interviews and was brought back for a second interview with two additional people. Though reviews of the company are overwhelming negative I was quite pleased and energized by the people I met. Unfortunately, I did not get the job and was notified by a generic applicant tracking system message. Very disappointing. They should at least have the courtesy to call.

Interviewed Aug 2009 in Boston, MA (took 4+ weeks)

The process was slow, and it wasn't unti the 3rd round that I was able to learn that the position wasn't a proper match either in pay or responsibilities for my own experience. The interviewers I spoke with were all professional and engaged, but it was a slow, somewhat unorganized process.
