Applied online for an analyst role, but HR suggested a specific Business Analyst position, so I applied for that. Got asked to do a recorded phone interview the next day where I had limited time to respond to questions, which the hiring manager could review later. Then there was silence/excuses from HR for two months. Eventually got an interview at their HQ. Upon arrival, I had to take a 15-minute skills test covering basic math, proofreading, and logic. After that, I interviewed with the hiring manager and their boss. I felt the interview went very well, as I had the required experience, used personal stories to answer questions, asked thoughtful questions, demonstrated I'd done my research without being overbearing, and built rapport. We finished positively, and they said I'd hear back in two weeks. I sent thank you notes via email and physically, and followed up with HR every two weeks, but only received non-committal responses. After 30 days, I got a standard rejection, suggesting they might have been negotiating with their preferred candidates and kept me as a backup. Despite being qualified and performing well, they chose someone else. The long wait times for the interview scheduling and decision-making, along with the lack of communication when I followed up, were frustrating.

I haven't heard back about an offer or rejection after two months since my interview. I don't know if they hired someone else or are still considering candidates, or if they just didn't want to hire me because no one has called back.

The panel was really nice! Just be yourself and be personable, and you'll do great. Having a sense of humor and being honest really helps. Make sure to talk about how you'd take care of the people you'll be servicing.
