The HR recruiters at Wood in Milan were unprofessional in how they managed the selection process. What they promised verbally wasn't kept, and I never got any feedback. The time I put into the process was too long. If they improved these things, the candidate experience would be clearer and more respectful.

It was a pretty standard interview process. They asked a lot of questions about my past experience and jobs, including how long I worked at different places. They also wanted to know what I liked, what was tough, what went well, and what I'd change if I could.

Behavioral Technical

It started with a personal reference, then an online application, followed by a phone screening and a phone interview. Then an in-person interview, and a follow-up by phone. After that, it was just radio silence. I know my resume isn't the typical Sr PM one, but I got a referral from someone who was part of the interview process. We had worked together before and she was impressed with my background, so I got invited to interview. The interview seemed to go well and we had a follow-up scheduled. Then, no one was reachable. The interviewers were saying they have a hard time finding good candidates. The hiring managers here are really bad at responding. The whole process took about two months. After that, getting a response was impossible. Someone else I know had the same problem. I think their struggles to fill positions are because of their hiring managers, not the applicants.
