Extremely laborious and protracted interview process. Had an initial 30 minute interview, followed by a more intensive 1 hour interview, followed by a full day of 4 one hour interviews.

Question 1
Why do you think you’re the best candidate for this job?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Esri in Apr 2022
Interview
I got an email from a manager saying they wanted to talk about the position. From the get-go, he was surprisingly rude. He said I had a bad resume and he just felt like he had to interview me. Then when I asked him where I should improve, he said he was not at liberty to discuss with me. He asked me about a manuscript I have in review currently and he wanted specific details. Anyone who has a manuscript in review or prepared for submission knows that you cannot discuss specific details out of respect for your colleagues and your work. Then he told me I dont stand out. I just laughed it all off but I was really frustrated and I found the attitude to be slightly sexist. He ended the conversation with saying he might never talk to me again! Well HR followed up and asked about salary expectations and some behavioral stuff. They said I'd move to the final round. I didn't hear back for a month. When I checked Esri's portal, I saw I had been rejected. Since then, I have applied to two Esri jobs that I honestly felt overqualified for in professional and academic experience and I have been automatically rejected. Really disappointing all around.

Question 1
What is your graduate thesis about? How do you deal with difficult colleagues? Do you work with ArcPro? Do you know Python?
I advanced through three interview stages, including an on-site with expenses covered, but was ultimately rejected with vague feedback. The position was reopened during my interviews and has remained open since.
2 video interviews and one full day interview.
Had to email the manager to REMIND him of my interview.
3 people didn't show up the full day interview leaving me hours alone to do nothing in between interviews.
Asked me several questions not related to the position.
