The recruiter was extremely nice and her energy was infectious. She sent updates really quick. Interviewing with her was like talking to a friend. She told me her colleague would send the email to schedule the interview with the hiring manager. Scheduling the hiring manager interview was not as easy or quick. I selected a day/time and found out a few hours before that she wasn’t actually available during the times I was given the option of picking from. Picked a different day and it was accepted quickly. Interview with the hiring manager was completely different than the recruiter and she didn’t really ask many questions. She seemed a little concerned that I was going to school for a degree in the field I work and applied for. Ended with interview saying she wanted me to move forward and interview with two designers on the team. Within two emails I got the rejection email.

The interview went on for 5 rounds. One with the recruiter, one with the hiring manager, and 3 with teammates - all seemingly good interviews. Lots of repeat questions in each round.
