I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Quadient (Milford, CT) in Sept 2017
Interview
I received a voice-mail to call to set-up a time for a phone interview. The voice mail was received on a Wednesday and the callback number was a WRONG NUMBER. I eventually got through the company switchboard to the person that left the message. Turns out it was the hiring manager. Spoke with him to set-up a phone interview for a phone interview the next day (Thursday afternoon). He sent me an Outlook meeting invitation on Wednesday which I accepted. I sat around all day Thursday without receiving a call from him. Sent him a follow up e-mail at the end of the work day Thursday asking to set-up another phone interview. At the time of this review (almost 2 weeks later), I still haven't heard back.
Okay stuff happens. But I find it extremely rude to not even get a response to say I'm no longer being considered. I also suspect that the behavior of the hiring manager is systemic of his management style. Probably for the best.

hr did a phone interview with me. Then asked me to do an online assessment. The online assessment was not about coding skills. Instead, some of questions were asked to solve puzzles. It was a bit tedious and time consuming. After that, I has never heard back.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Quadient (Raleigh, NC)
Interview
Applied online. Got a fast response. Took an online coding assessment then got set up for an interview with the development manager. This consisted of a lot of technical questions, mostly javascript related. Then there were two more assessments during the interview conducted online, also javascript. After this was done I got to ask some questions, then received a very fast response they would be moving forward with other candidates.
In the email I received, this line is concerning: "Unfortunately we cannot provide specific feedback as it may be held against us." Really? Companies are not under any obligation to give specific feedback, but just leave that line out. This makes the company look shady. Personally for me, as javascript heavy as the job seemed and as tired as the manager sounded, it didn't sound like a role I would be interested in taking. But, you should be proud of the company that you work for and have that show during the interview that this is the place to be! I made the mistake once of accepting an offer when the interviewers sounded dead and lifeless, never again. And if you're not going to give feedback, don't say too much in the rejection email that makes your company look like they're hiding something. Keep it simple and straight to the point.
