Behavioral Technical Presentation

I went through 3 rounds for this role. The first was a general chat with HR. The second was a technical interview with procurement leaders. The third round involved an in-person presentation about a time I overcame a problem, followed by meeting a previous placement student, and then another HR interview. They mentioned I was one of two candidates remaining and expected to hear back within a few days. However, after two weeks of no communication, I emailed them and received an automated rejection via Workday with no feedback. It's disappointing given it was 3 rounds and involved traveling 100 miles without expense reimbursement. I replied thanking them and asking for feedback, but they ignored it.

Technical Behavioral

The interview process was quite direct and technical. It mainly revolved around reviewing my CV and assessing my experience with the required skills. There was also a more general HR interview where they asked about my soft skills, availability, and my strengths and weaknesses. They got back to me pretty quickly after.
