An internal recruiter contacted me within a couple of days of applying online in late October 2023. I proceeded through four rounds of interviews, three with peer-level employees and a fourth with the hiring manager. One of the peer-level interviews was an "Assessment Round" where I was asked to optimize a marketing campaign email displayed on the screen for me. I was not given any details about the assessment in advance, but it was fairly straightforward if not terribly formal. The recruiter was responsive throughout the timeframe in which I was interviewing, and I was told that the hiring team would be making a decision the week after Thanksgiving. As you can see, I'm now writing three months to the date after applying. After a vague update about my profile "being on hold" and a lack of clarification on what this means, I have not had an update since late December. My application remains marked "in progress" in Western Union's Workday system but I have not heard from anyone at the company for more than a month. This is a real shame because I enjoyed the peer-level conversations a lot and felt like the role was an exciting opportunity.

First round screening interview was conducted via phone with Talent Acquisition, second round interview were with Human Resource manager using Zoom, third round with hiring manager via Zoom. Relatively smooth interview process.
