I met a recruiter at a career fair. She directed me toward the role of Client Accountant. I connected with her on LinkedIn and applied for the position. About a week later she contacted me to set up a time to talk about my background and appropriate roles at C&W. I responded with my availability. Shortly after, I received a response to my application from a different recruiter and a phone interview was scheduled. The interview was bizarre. The recruiter's attitude was very cold. She was either eating or crushing tissue paper while we were on the phone. I explained my background and she told me about the position. The actual job posting and her description of the position were different enough that I was not interested in the role nor was I even qualified. I do not know why the role was even suggested to me at the career fair. We discussed salary expectations and I realized that C&W pays well below average for the market. They are looking for a degree and experience, but they are not willing to pay for it. We mutually decided this role was not for me nor would they be able to meet my salary expectations. In the meantime, I never heard back from the recruiter from the career fair about the appointment she wanted. To be professional and polite, I emailed again to confirm interest but have not received a reply. There were more red flags during the phone interview, but I think what I have written is enough to indicate how much I do not want to work at C&W and I would only recommend with reservations.

Interview process was extremely efficient. Met with talent recruiter one week. Next week was interview and a couple days after that I had an offer. They don't string you along for multiple interviews. They promote for senior roles from within rather remote or in office.
