Applied through employee referral. After a couple months I received an email saying they would like to move forward and set up a phone interview. I scheduled it, then on the day of the recruiter never showed up to the interview, and never responded to my follow-up email. Five weeks later I receive an automated email thanking me for the "enriching discussion" and informing me that they aren't moving forward. Extremely unprofessional and I get the sense that things are very disorganized at the company. I may have dodged a bullet with this one.

I recently interviewed for a role at OpenAI, and while the process was generally well-organized, I had a mixed experience with the hiring manager. Unfortunately, they seemed quite busy and disinterested, arriving late to their own interview, which gave a negative first impression. However, I did appreciate the transparency they offered during the conversation once it started. On a more positive note, the recruiter was excellent. They were clear in explaining the process, supportive, and responsive throughout.
