This was disappointing for me as I had always thought they were a great company.
My story in bulletpoints:
- applied very early
- application was rejected (mistakenly)
- got an interview but no prep
- eventually met the hm (nice guy)
- didn’t get it (told they wanted to hire in Paris)
- they hired two people from my location 😅
- was kindly offered a 2nd opportunity
- got no prep
- met the hm (had no context of who I was)
- didn’t get it
The main sore point was that I felt like I was late to the process and their minds were already made up. It was also disappointing that I received very little prep material from the recruiter, and the second hiring manager didn’t seem to know who I was or what I was interviewing for.
