Interview
I contacted someone I knew about the open position after I applied. They had HR contact me and we did an preliminary interview. They arranged for me to interview with all 3 prinicples in the department, all of whom seemed very positive. Then I was ghosted. No one responded to my follow up emails. And then they posted the position again. No contact saying they're going with other candidates. This seems to be a new practice with hiring. Ghosting.

Interview
I met with HR, then the hiring manager. I enjoyed my interview with HR more than the hiring manager as HR interview was focused on job qualifications and hiring manager interview was essentially a vibe check. Hiring manager rescheduled my interview at the same time as it was supposed to start. It seemed like the goal for this role here is a personality hire. Was told verbatim that the hiring manager was not looking for someone who was interested in growth within the department, because their previous assistant was not interested in growth, and that assistant left because of the in-office requirement of the role.

Interview
The interview process was fine, nothing I would describe as amazing but usually the bigger the company the less they work to make the process human. The person interviewing was very kind however the follow up process is nonexistent and can be slow.
