The interview process was great and they came back saying they had positive things to say about me but they’ll go for someone else. It was really weird as it wasn’t one person they were recruiting for. I thought the interview was great but the outcome was disappointing

Had a phone chat with a recruiter, who was really nice and professional. It was a relaxed conversation and lasted about 40 minutes. They went over the job details and what the company does. I noticed the job post didn't actually mention the working hours, which was a bit unclear.

The interview process took a really long time. It's been 5 months since I interviewed for this position, and I still haven't heard back, but honestly, I'm not waiting anymore because I found a better job. I kept reaching out to HR for an update or feedback, but they just kept saying there was 'no news.' It felt like a complete waste of my time. I even saw they reposted the job on LinkedIn a few months ago. They should at least tell candidates when they're not selected, and I'm happy I didn't end up working for a company that treats people this way.
