The HR rep was super responsive and things got going fast. I had my first interview quick and got encouraging feedback – they said they liked me and wanted to move me to stage two, but it would take some time. But then, it got bad. It's been over a month and a half, and even after politely asking a couple of times, I never heard back. I was totally ghosted. This was a bummer because I really liked the company and expected a professional hiring process, especially from a company like BAT. The silence left a really bad taste, no matter the result. Basically, the start was good, but the lack of updates and transparency made it a frustrating and unprofessional experience.

The first interview went really well. The hiring manager even mentioned they would move me forward to the next step, which is a face-to-face assessment center. However, I later noticed they sent an automated culture test to my email, which they didn't mention when I asked about the interview steps.
