I applied for the summer internship program in Sydney, Australia. The application form was easy - no psychometric testing like I’d experienced in other internship applications. A couple days later I received an invitation to a phone interview with one of their recruiters. The interview times available to choose from were pretty inconvenient because the recruiter was based in NYC and I was in Sydney, this is understandable though given the time difference. The interview was okay, the recruiter was friendly but seemed bored which was difficult to work with and a little disheartening honestly. The questions asked were pretty standard, nothing that I hadn’t encountered in other interviews. At the end I was told that I would be contacted the following week to let me know whether or not I would progress to the next stage and to reach out if I had any questions/issues in the meantime… 2 weeks later I sent my first follow up email as I had not heard anything yet. I got no response. I sent another follow up 2 weeks after that (now a month since the interview) and also got no response. Roughly 2.5 weeks after that I received what looked like a pretty generic rejection email. So from being told I would hear back within a week and not hearing back for 7 weeks, even after following up twice, it was a pretty disappointing experience.
