The interview went on for 5 rounds. One with the recruiter, one with the hiring manager, and 3 with teammates - all seemingly good interviews. Lots of repeat questions in each round.

The recruiter was extremely nice and her energy was infectious. She sent updates really quick. Interviewing with her was like talking to a friend. She told me her colleague would send the email to schedule the interview with the hiring manager. Scheduling the hiring manager interview was not as easy or quick. I selected a day/time and found out a few hours before that she wasn’t actually available during the times I was given the option of picking from. Picked a different day and it was accepted quickly. Interview with the hiring manager was completely different than the recruiter and she didn’t really ask many questions. She seemed a little concerned that I was going to school for a degree in the field I work and applied for. Ended with interview saying she wanted me to move forward and interview with two designers on the team. Within two emails I got the rejection email.
