Went through 2 interviews for this role but unfortunately they hired someone else. I only found out 2 weeks later. In those 2 weeks, I tried reaching out to HR after the first interview (no response), then to my interviewers for the second round (no response), and even called HR (no answer). Finally, I sent one last email to HR asking directly if the position was filled, and that's when I got the rejection email from a generic Padilla account, not even from the HR person I'd been in contact with. It was not a good interview experience at all.

Behavioral Presentation

I initially thought this was a great interview process with a really tentative HR Team. I even came in for interviews multiple days and loved the whole team. However, when following up, HR went quiet. It was a rude shock that they could not answer a email if the position was filled or not. Especially after taking multiple days off to come in and interview for a few hours.
