Interview
I applied for the position via the LinkedIn job posting. I was then contacted by a recruiter through email to go in for an interview at their HQ office. I interviewed with 3 people total, and the interview was fairly easy/standard. After interviewing I was told I would be contacted with any further steps. I heard back within a few days for a second interview which was delayed because of the holidays. After the new year I reached out to follow up twice, and was then told that the person in charge decided to make changes to the requirements and was now looking for someone with more experience, which I found to be so frustrating.
