It was less than a week from when I initially applied to when I was contacted to conduct the computer prompted recorded interview. Once passed that stage, I had a relatively relaxed phone interview that lasted about 30 minutes just going over my resume, why Wiley, and what I’m looking for. Next round was an in-person interview with the supervisor and head of the department, one after the other. Both of them were super nice and the interview felt more like a conversation than a grilling. There was also a writing assessment that lasted about 30 minutes, but it can be completed before the time limit. Lastly, there was a demonstration over Skype with basic instructions given via email and some time with the software to familiarize myself. The demonstration lasted about 20 minutes followed by a quick reflection. The whole process took about 2 months. With a good amount of prep, the tasks were totally doable.

The process took two months and I had 4 rounds of interviews, the last one being a presentation that I worked pretty diligently to prepare. After presenting to him and another person, I was told that I would hear back, latest, after the holidays. It was mid - December. It had been 3 weeks and the holidays were over, so I asked for an update. I was told that everyone was still "getting back into the swing of things", and then got ghosted after that. Fast forward to late February, I get a email from the hiring manager saying that he was impressed with my interview, and wanted me to come in an interview for the same position as another slot had opened up. I told him pretty directly that I did not appreciate being ghosted, and then contacted to come in for another interview after all the time & effort I had spent already. His response was that someone from HR was supposed to get into contact with me and inform me that they had went with the other candidate. We had been in direct communication with one another since the 3rd round (at his suggestion). This company taught not do presentations for potential employers. The lesson was worth it all, honestly.
