There was a phone interview, which was pretty standard—a chance to discuss my background, skills, and why I was interested in the role. Video interviews: I met with different folks from various levels within the company. They were really keen on understanding not just what I knew about public affairs but also how I approached problem-solving and if I'd gel with their team and culture. One thing that stood out was a case assignment following one of the interviews. It was challenging but exciting—kind of like a puzzle that tested my analytical skills and how I'd handle real-world scenarios. Then they ghosted for weeks before sending a 2-line rejection. Not very professional.

15 minute phone interview. They asked me how I would manage and executive and my experience working in a office. The conversation seemed to go well but they did not invite me for a second interview.

I had a call with one of the recruiters. After a thank you email and a follow up to see where I was in the process. She ghosted me. Disrespectful and classless. I'd rather have a rejection email than to be ghosted in the process.
