Contacted by email; 1 phone call, then followed by Zoom call with HR manager who was home in PJ's. The consultant interview which reminded me 3 times she was a Harvard grad, then ghosted to have learned her boyfriend got the job, he went from coordo at Aldo to VP, a joke. Ghosted a senior executive after 3 interviews!
