Behavioral Group

The beginning of the interview was great, recruiter was communicative and the panel interview was organized. I got good feedback and heard I was moving on, but then communication dropped. I sent follow-ups but got nothing back. It was a letdown because the company talks a lot about leadership and standards. Candidates put in time and effort, so clear communication is key, even if things change. The early part was good, but the lack of follow-through at the end was disappointing.
