Behavioral Technical

Had a positive experience meeting the direct recruiting managers. However, the talent head in Belgium was incompetent, scheduling remote meetings at incorrect times and providing inaccurate location details and misspelled replies. These minor issues caused stress when arranging interviews while working elsewhere and reflected poorly on the company. The final issue was the lack of communication after a lengthy interview process, a form of "job ghosting" typically seen with poor recruiters, but unexpected from the talent office of a company positioning itself as crucial to financial infrastructure. This demonstrated a lack of professionalism that negatively impacts the company. For those job hunting, persevere, as "talent" often means the opposite.

Was contacted by HR for a phone interview. Then had a face-to-face interview at the job site about 10 days later. Got an update 10 days after that saying I was still in the running. Almost 6 weeks later, I got an email saying another candidate was chosen.
