MOO interview questions

Really disappointing and unprofessional interview experience. Having read a few positive employee and customer reviews, I decided to apply for a role at Moo. I wish I had taken on board the previous Account Manager review in December 2015 and not bothered with this company. I was contacted a week or so later after applying online and went through several different interview stages, including, an over the phone chat with a HR Manager and a face to face interview. Email communication was really poor from HR, especially when it came to agreeing a date and time for an interview. There was a couple of last minute interview changes which reflected badly on Moo's HR organisation. The interview itself was pretty easy and the interviewer seemed down to earth. I was given plenty of opportunity to ask questions but when I enquired, how long it would take to hear back from Moo or what were the next stages, the interviewer did know and did not specify. My biggest complaint is HR's communication. There was no clarification of their interview process from the beginning of how many stages there would be. It seemed like they were interviewing as many candidates as possible and making up the interview process as they were going along. A week after my face to face interview, I checked my online application which stated it was still 'In Process'. Then a couple of days later, my application status was changed from 'In Process' to 'Closed'. No phone call or email from Moo. Very unprofessional, especially when a candidate has taken the time and effort to go through several interview stages. I did eventually receive an email from HR after chasing the status of my application. Judging by previous employee reviews, this is isn't a company where you can progress and I would strongly advise others to look and apply elsewhere. This whole process was unnecessarily long and a complete waste of time.

Honestly, I'm confused and unimpressed. I applied for a role that both the hiring manager (Kitty) and I were aware I was suitable for. We had a great phone interview, which was followed a week later, with an email stating the max budget for the role would be below my current salary and whether I'd still be interested in proceeding. I responded asking if they would meet me at my base salary, and inquired as to whether it would be possible to discuss further, or learn more about MOO's culture via a meeting, so that I could figure out whether the salary dip was worth it. I've had no response at all, even though I've followed up since my initial email. It's basic courtesy to respond given this didn't have to do with my unsuitability for the role, as much as it did monetary compensation. I was incredibly excited about working for MOO and made it very clear, so I'm really disappointed in the way my application has been handled. A shame guys, I thought you were better than this, and I guess you've demonstrated your standards early enough that I've been provided warning signs.
