It was very rushed and very scripted. We had to reschedule it twice. It felt like a "check-the-box" exercise as if their mind was already made up or they didn't care about engaging in a conversation. Not a great first impression of the company.

The interview process with Guild was probably one of the best I've gone through. There was an initial phone screen with the recruiter, then a Zoom interview with the hiring manager, a take-home assignment, a series of interviews with a few other folks, and a reference check. Something I really enjoyed was how aligned everyone was on the company mission, the understanding of the role and how it functioned within the team, and the opportunities/challenges that Guild is facing. I really enjoyed meeting everyone that I talked to! I also want to add that throughout the process, HR was quick to communicate, accommodating of my schedule, and just overall really warm! I never waited more than a day for any follow-up, and it really was incredibly smooth! The overall process from when I submitted my application to when I received an offer took about 6 weeks.
