Had my first interview. The recruiter said she would contact me within a week. After that, I was ghosted.
Initially, I thought it was a nice company with strong values. I would have appreciated hearing back from you.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Rover.com
Interview
Be prepared to spend 5-6 hours total for the entire process, which in my opinion and any HR professional will tell you that an efficient organization can make a determination after 2 interviews. Most people that I met with were very nice. However, i interviewed with people that I otherwise would never interact with and who probably didn’t know much about the position I was interviewing for. I didn’t notice any diversity within the leadership team -red flag. I also got a sense of things being very clique ish, almost like a multi level marketing company that I once interacted with. One interviews stated if we don’t like you, you won’t last long, the same person eating a meal during my interview. I think I dodged a bullet. I’ll stick with larger organizations, less messy.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rover.com (Spokane, WA) in Jan 2018
Interview
Too long, too much fakeness, too many young professionals not well versed in basic human resources practices. Keep your personal stories about your lives under wraps. Keep your overwhelming accolades of the interviewee under wraps. Keep your 'great answer" 'so true" "you're absolutely right" responses to yourself as a professional HR trained person would agree that leading a candidate on and on and on IS not cool. And just plainly unprofessional, unkind, and unnecessary. Their 'interviewing" process could use help from working with a well versed human resource PROFESSIONAL... There is no reason to be led on for weeks with smiles, laughs, personal stories, and praises only to be told via email that you are rejected. And no it was not the rejection where the issue lies.. the issues are with the three-plus weeks of wasted time. Eight interviews. EIGHT interviews.. a true HR professional could have reached a rejection in 2 interviews. There is a reason MOST if not ALL management/supervising employees in certain departments are young, white, and inexperienced.
