The process felt pleasant while it was happening, but the ending left a bad taste. After applying online, I went through in-person or online conversations with several senior interviewers. The onsite experience in particular felt warm, with friendly people focused more on fit than hard technical questioning.
I discussed my background and how I matched the role. Even across VP or MD-level conversations or interviews spread over different dates, the tone stayed supportive and the feedback sounded positive. What changed the experience was the lack of closure: HR sometimes stopped replying after positive feedback, or I waited weeks before learning the position had gone to someone else. In one case, an automatic rejection arrived when I believed things were still moving.
I did not get an offer. The final communication felt disconnected from the impression left by the interviews.
Location: Paris. Overall feedback: neutral. Offer status: no offer.
