I applied 9/8, completed a phone screen 9/13, a partner interview 9/17, an associate and a paralegal interview 9/26, another associate interview 10/1, and another partner interview 10/14. Each interview was pleasant and conversational. I was informed on 10/17 after sending a follow-up email that decisions were being finalized, and today, two weeks later and after prompting with a second follow-up email, I received notice that they were moving forward with another candidate. I am extremely disappointed in the manner with which this interview and candidate review process was carried out. A hiring process should never carry on longer than a month. Had I known earlier that they were not interested in hiring me, I would have pursued other temporary means of income during this period of time.
