Business Analyst at Medtronic
No Offer – Reviewed Feb 11, 2013
Interview Details
It was arranged as a telephone interview with the manager and subsequently the senior manager face to face. After the telephone interview, there is no follow up on the location of the personal interview. After arriving in the Medtronic Singapore HQ on the stipulated date, they informed me that there is no interview arrangement with the senior manager.
Apparently, the manager dropped the ball or she think I was not suitable for the role and did not bother about informing me. After 30 mins of waiting, the senior manager called and apologise about the hiccup and proposed a telephone interview. At that time, I was disappointed with how the way things work out, and just told him that I was not interested anymore.
My opinion is the HR/management should inform that candidate if things does not work out instead of dropping the ball. I believe that it is an individual who dropped it, but it reflects on the company at the same time.
