Interview
I had an initial phone screen with the HR recruiter that went well and they seemed excited to put me forward to the virtual interview with someone from the marketing team. They did make a weird comment about me interviewing at a Fortune 500 company, asking why I would want to work there instead of their company because they had major growth. I thought the virtual interview went well, we went over time and had a lively discussion. At the end of the interview the interviewer gave me her email and said to please stay in contact with any questions that I would have and said she was looking forward to talking to me again on site! Well less than 24 hours later I got an email saying thanks, but no thanks. They would not be moving forward with me as a candidate. It was really strange and although this company offers some great benefits it seems extremely dysfunctional and quite honestly, facetious.

Interview
It took 11 days after applying to get an invitation for an interview. The first step was a 30 minute digital screening with the recruiter. The interviewer showed up 15 minutes late to our video call and said she forgot that we were doing a video interview instead of a phone call, so our conversation was only 15 minutes. Our conversation went well, I liked her personality and thought my experience was relevant to the position. She was candid and shared the salary, benefits, and culture of the position, which was refreshing. She told me I was one of the more junior applicants, and that I was one of the <10% who got an interview, which I also appreciated. The most disappointing part of the process is the interviewer happily noted multiple times at the end of the conversation that I did fantastic, and I "had absolutely nothing to worry about." There was no follow-up or rejection email, even after I reached back out a week and a half later. It was upsetting to be told how amazing I did then not know why I didn't advance to the next stage of interviews.
