I applied for a newly created role in Otsuka's Marketing Department several weeks ago. After a phone screening with HR, I was invited for an on-site interview that was scheduled for the following week. I meet with three interviewers. The first was the head of Marketing, the person to whom I would be reporting. This person was very knowledgeable about the role, and we seemed to hit it off really well. The second interviewer was not in any way involved with the interviewing position in terms of collaboration or hierarchy. He provided no insight into the position and gave a very scripted response regarding company culture. I'm not sure why he was even a member of the interview panel. Nevertheless, my interview with this person ended on a positive note. The last interviewer was indifferent. I'm not sure if she was just having a bad day but she came across as somewhat rude and abrasive. It was harder for me to get a read on how that interview went because she seemed bored throughout the entire process, asking only standard STAR questions. Although directly involved with the hiring position, she seemed not to know a great deal about the responsibilities associated witht he position. Importantly, it was clear to me that all three interviewers had not reviewed my resume prior to meeting me. A large chunk of each interview time was just reviewing my resume (the first time, for them). I feel like that is incredibly disrespectful. If I am taking the time to do my due diligence on the company and position, the least they could have done was look at my resume beforehand.
The entire interview process took about 2 hours. I was told by the first interviewer that they were still interviewing other candidates, which would be concluded the following week.
I sent a thank you email following the interview and a follow-up email one week after to check in on the status of the position. I received no response. It's now been two weeks and I have not heard anything. If I didn't get the position, the right thing to do would be to let me know, not "ghost" me.
