Both interviews with the recruiter and hiring manager went well. Both lasted about half an hr. I would say the interviews felt more casual than what I’ve experienced in the past. There’s the typical tell me about yourself, your skills, why you’re interested, etc. Not so much of the “what would you do in this situation” kind of deal.
Communication, on the other hand, was a negative experience. After the first interview with the recruiter, I was informed that the hiring manager was going to be out of the office for the rest of the week. Therefore, the recruiter would get back to me on a date for the next interview with the hiring manager. A week went by, I heard nothing. I figured I would just follow up with an email in case I missed something on my end. The recruiter later called me (the same day), and we were able to schedule the second interview for the next day.
I did the interview and felt like everything went well. The hiring manager talked more than I did. She spoke about the job and was even interested in maybe getting me to join another department that they had. Once we were wrapping things up, she informed me that I would hear back from them by the end of the week.
Well, 3 weeks went by and I heard nothing. Not even a rejection. I decided to do another follow up with the recruiter, just to check. And then a few days later, no emails from the recruiter, but I got an automated rejection email from FIS. Lol.
