The interview process was generally positive and friendly, conducted mostly over the phone. Communication was clear early on, and a marketing portfolio was requested with a quick turnaround, which felt reasonable. Toward the end of the process, communication became less consistent. A decision was expected before the holidays but required follow-up to receive an update. The rejection was communicated politely, though a subsequent request for feedback did not receive a response. Overall, the experience was professional and pleasant, with room for improvement in final-stage communication and closure.
