Interview
I went through three rounds of interviews plus a project as part of the process. Communication was very prompt and consistent while I was advancing through each stage. However, once the process concluded, I did not receive any follow-up or formal rejection, despite multiple attempts to check in.
It was disappointing, especially given the level of time and effort required for the project. A simple update or closure would have gone a long way in maintaining a positive candidate experience. The way I found out someone else got the role was through an announcement on LinkedIn...
For a company with an established reputation, I expected a higher level of professionalism and communication throughout the entire process, not just during active interview stages.

Interview
I believe I may have been used as a decoy candidate during the hiring process. The Head of HR encouraged me to request a higher salary, which could have made me less competitive compared to other candidates.
Additionally, one of the managers asked an inappropriate question whether I had ever worked with a British person before. As someone from an international background, I found this assumption both irrelevant and unprofessional.
Overall, the experience raised concerns about the fairness and professionalism of the recruitment process.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gelfand, Rennert & Feldman in Dec 2025
Interview
Applied for the job online. Within the following week, I scheduled a live video call with the recruiter. We discussed about my work experience in tax, as well as details about the firm and job details. Overall, the recruiter was quite nice to talk with and I was excited about the prospect of working at the firm. I was told I could potentially hear back with a response on next steps by the following week. However, after two timely email follow ups with no response from the recruiter, I finally got an automated response on the 25th day after the recruiter meeting, saying I wasn't selected (I think being this happened in December, it probably delayed the decision process).
