I had one interview with HR - she said she believed my background would be an excellent fit. We spoke on a Wednesday, and she said she would be back in touch on Friday. Which Friday remains to be seen. FFS!

I met with a recruiter for a phone screen, and then had two video interviews with senior team members. There was some lag time between interviews, and I had to follow up with the recruiter I was working with to meet the second person after he had a scheduling conflict. I thought the interviews went well, and the recruiter let me know I had moved on to the next round. I was travelling abroad at the time, but didn't want to miss out on the opportunity, so I moved my schedule around to take third and fourth interviews with members of the leadership team. I didn't hear back from the recruiter after the last interview, so I reached out and she said she would get back to me with news by the end of that week. Nothing. Two weeks later, I sent an email to close the loop because I had other offers pending, which didn't receive a reply. It was surprising because I think on both sides, we were fairly candid and engaged throughout the process, and I enjoyed the conversations at the time. This role was for a newer unit so I understand the disorganization to some extent, but the lack of respect for my time really soured me on Edelman. (I ended up in a senior marketing role for a tech company in the same vertical.)
