I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Cision (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2020
Interview
I had an initial phone screening that gave me a poor first impression of the company. The person I spoke to for the phone screening spent the first minute talking about how I was their eighth call of the day and they couldn't wait to get off the call to drink wine at 4pm. I immediately felt like I wasn't a priority nor cared about, so I already stopped caring about the job. I went through the questions which felt very scripted and not like an interview. I did not care if I moved forward after that conversation because of the impression of the company their recruiter gave me.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. The people were casual, easy to talk to, and friendly. Started off with a casual phone screening, moved on to actual interview, and then had a final interview with a sales manager.
