The process took over 3 months with the worst form of internal mismanaged communication that I have ever faced.
First, candidate is badgered to send a cover letter and CV. Which is good, they seem to be in a rush, one would assume they do the job as quickly as they expect you to. After that, a HR interview was scheduled that never happened. Had to write several mails to point of contact who never responded till I follow dup vigorously on the phone. Following this, the HR interview was rescheduled 3 times.
After this, one never heard from HR. If they wanted to discontinue the application, its absolutely basic to let the candidate know, isn't it? Post this, after several weeks of follow up and some internal referrals, there was still a delay of some weeks that was followed by a Partner interview.
This interview was followed by no feedback whatsoever.
The worst interview experience you may ever have.
