Behavioral Group
I first met NNPS at a job fair and after a quick chat, they said someone would call to set up an interview. I followed up multiple times with different people and was always told an interview would be scheduled, but it never was. I went to another job fair and they said the same thing about scheduling an interview. Again, I had to follow up a lot, but finally, I got an interview. They told me they'd send the link the same day, but they didn't send the virtual interview link until the night before, which was only after I called them. The interview was a panel, but only one person talked and didn't acknowledge my answers at all before asking the next question. The whole thing was under 15 minutes and felt really dehumanizing.
