I felt really well taken care of from the start. The recruiter kept me updated at each step and moved me along quickly, with swift feedback between stages. When I finally got to the last round, I didn’t get the job—but what surprised me was that the recruiter called me directly to explain why. I appreciated that level of follow-through because it didn’t leave me guessing.
After applying online while I was already internal, I got a recruiter screening call that lasted about fifteen minutes. The conversation started with basics and then quickly moved toward how I worked and why I was a strong pick for the account executive role. A short time later, I had a hiring manager interview that felt conversational, with a mix of more formal questions and genuine discussion.
