I applied online. I interviewed at CBRE (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2018
Interview
I received an email on Monday the 10th, in the afternoon requesting a "chat based" interview. I was asked to send a message to a particular contact via Google Hangouts to set up the interview. Since it was less than 24 hour noticed, I did so immediately. I received no response. At 7:52AM the next morning (8 minutes before the original 8AM requested time) I received a message "Hi, how are you?". Because of the lack of communication prior, I decided I was no longer interested in this position. I told the sender that I respectfully rescind my application and wished them luck on their search. Their response? "Ok Bye".
I'm sorry, but the interview process is not only a time for the applicant to impress the employer, but also the employers opportunity to impress the applicant. Your lack of communication and professionalism is not an environment I want to work in. If you have requests and tasks for your applicants, you need to make sure you're also doing your part to respond and communicate.

Question 1
I was asked to send a message via Google Hangouts to set up the interview. I did so immediately since they were requesting an interview less than 24 hours later. I never received any communication afterwards or confirmation until 8 minutes before the intended interview time.
I applied online. I interviewed at CBRE in Jul 2017
Interview
Local interview first and then APAC interview. HR manager was very nice and tried to make me comfortable. The feedback took 3-4 days. They also have assignment for designers.
I applied online for their Graphic Designer position. Somehow the position wasn't available and so, they offered the Client Services Assistant/Marketing Coordinator position instead. I had a 20 min phone interview with the HR. I was also given a small project to work on to show my design skills. I was interviewed by two people at their office. I sent a thank you email afterwards, but never heard from them again.
