After sending in my CV and Cover Letter, I got an email saying I was selected for an interview. But then, 20 minutes before it was supposed to start, it got canceled with a promise to reschedule soon. I followed up three times by email over the next few days, but heard nothing back. It was pretty disappointing not to get a response after preparing.

Sent my CV and covering letter, then got invited for a first round interview. It was a one-hour written assessment, followed by a one-hour Q&A session. The questions covered my CV, motivation, and thesis, along with a case study and a discussion of my written assessment. It was a horrible experience, I didn't feel welcome, and I didn't even get an email about my rejection.
