There was one screening call.
The second interview was with the hiring manager.
It was a bit odd, I felt like they had made a decision prior to my interview and it was a courtesy interview. The questions weren't even about my experience.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BMG in Jun 2023
Interview
1 HR interview followed by 1 interview with hiring manager followed by presentation to Hiring Manager & HR rep - unfortunately had to follow up multiple times after presentation for any kind of answer. Additionally the amount of time that was needed to put together the presentation was way more than any interview should be asking for unpaid.
