Everything began very cordially and warmly, up until the point where I needed confirmation on whether the phases of the selection process I was going through were positive. I was invited to a third in-person interview in another city, and I had to reach out that same week for updates, only to be kept waiting until the following week, by which time I had already lost hope. In the end, I received nothing more than a generic thank-you email. It was an indescribable feeling for an applicant.
