Interview
Interview Experience: Very Negative
Overall Process: ~6 weeks
Interview process took about 6 weeks. Started strong with quick replies and a smooth first interview. Then—nothing. Missed timelines, no updates, follow-ups ignored.
Weeks later, I was told I was still being considered… then got an auto-rejection email the next day. No explanation, no closure.
If you value communication, consistency, or basic professionalism, proceed with caution.

Question 1
Q: Tell us about a time you had to wait for something important. How did you handle it?
The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Columbia Bank (Portland, OR) in Feb 2020
Interview
After applying I was interviewed 3 times with 4 from the company. One manager and 3 VP/directors. I was told they would be in touch, but never heard back. Having spent a great deal of time preparing for each of the 3 interviews, I was pretty disappointed for the lack of curtesy and communication.
After about a month I called HR who scheduled each interview and they said they were eager to continue the process but nothing since.
