Recruiter call, call with hiring manager. Both were conversational and not terribly challenging or any gotcha questions. The call with the hiring manager went really well and halfway through the call he informed me he'd be moving me on to the next round. At the end of that call, he informed me yet again I'd be moving on to the next stage. I couldn't get a hold of the recruiter for two weeks until she replied and told me they are moving forward with someone else.

I took two online assessments, then had to take the math assessment again in front of a recruiter to make sure I wasn't "faking" it, for some reason. Then I had a bunch of interviews. The whole process was demeaning, I was lied to and manipulated. The recruiters were so aggressive. I was on holiday outside of Denver and wanted to schedule my on-site interview for a time after I got back from my trip. The recruiter convinced me to change my travel plans to come back to Denver sooner than I had planned so that I could be on-site for an interview within their "very quick" timeframe. I explained my schedule and plans and they completely ignored me and insisted I "work with them" to get back to Denver sooner so that I could be "in the running" for a job offer. In the end, after several interviews and changing my travel (at my own expense), I was never even invited on-site and did not get an offer. I did not mind not getting an offer but I did mind being convinced to change my travel plans for no reason. It really feels like they are in a sweat shop for recruiters and with the acquisition they don't treat you like a person but rather, a walking dollar sign / data collection point. It was a terrible experience and I feel I was manipulated. I got a better offer at a better company where they treated me nicely during the whole interview process, never rushed me and were willing to accommodate my schedule instead of threatening that I will loose the offer if I didn't rush. My advice to other interviewees at this company: Don't put up with nonsense like I did. Be aware of high pressure tactics. Know that most companies do not need to engage in them.
