I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Ellucian (Fort Worth, TX) in Mar 2017
Interview
Third party Recruiter hired by Ellucian found me on LinkedIn. First interview with recruiter was a phone screen; second was with a hiring manager; third was with area director; fourth with a VP in sales operations; fifth was with the VP of US National Sales. I was held in their pipeline as a candidate for a couple months. During that time communication was excellent! I received weekly phone and email communications from he hiring manager and the recruiter. Had dinner and lunch on two separate occasions with him as well. Interviews were relaxed but efficient and well done. Offered a position the very first day one in my region/area became available.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Began with mostly sharing details about the role and the company, then Behavioral questions about how I handled past experiences and situations. Developed into conversational questions.
Was approached by their internal recruiter via LinkedIn. The virtual intro call was great and very informative. Then had the hiring manager interview, during which he hinted that the previous AE who had left the company a month before the hiring manager joined had approached him asking for his job back. When I reached out to their internal recruiter afterwards with my feedback, I never got a reply back. They ghosted me.

Question 1
The hiring manager wanted to get competitive information off me as I used to work for one of their competitors.
Manager reached out and cc'd Human Resources for an interview. Human Resources never responded even after I emailed them directly. I still have never heard back from either of them.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Ellucian (Boston, MA) in Jul 2020
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me about opportunity, I responded quickly and agreed to talk with him at a specific time. He never even responded to my message about initial screen. HE REACHED out to me! Really strange.
