Honestly, the end result of this isn't surprising. This process took over 3 months. Like everyone else, this began with an application, moved to an online test, a phone interview with HR, a mock assignment to determine my research abilities, and then an in-person interview. I applied online and heard back 1 month later to take the online test. It then took 2 weeks to schedule the phone interview. It took 2 weeks to schedule the in-person interview after completing the mock assignment. Then I was told it would be 2 weeks for a decision. Two weeks later I was informed they were doing "interval evaluations," and that it would be another 2 weeks before a decision was made. Two weeks go by, and I am told I have to wait for a meeting to occur before a decision is made. I don't hear anything, so I email asking for a status update. I then receive an email saying that I am no longer being considered for the position. During the waiting period, the HR representative I was in communications with was very responsive to me via email, and actually was positive in her responses, leading me to hope that meant I would at least be offered a position. I find it hard to believe that Hanover did not know in advance that they would be performing these evaluations, that they scheduled interviews during the same time period, that they did not make it clear to me that the result of the evaluations meant I might not get an offer, AND that they continued posting available positions during a period that they claimed to not be hiring. I appreciate that some people seem to have had good experiences with Hanover, but it truly was not how I found my own experience nor apparently many of those who have posted here. I passed on other potential opportunities because of this, which I know now I should not have done.
