About a week and a half after an initial screening call, I was asked to attend a "panel interview". This would consist of 4 separate interviews with various members of the marketing team. Each interview was to be around 35 minutes but the hiring manager asked me to budget a total of 4 hours for the experience. I was also asked to write a short, but unique, writing sample for them (not from my existing portfolio). I found everyone I interviewed with to be pleasant enough and I did enjoy learning more about the company. However, a week later, I received a form rejection. After the somewhat enormous time commitment (probably 5 hours total) they asked of me for the interview process, I would have appreciated some feedback. Or at the very least, bare minimum, I would have liked for someone to spend five minutes writing me a short, personalized email thanking me for my time.
