I went through three stages of interviews with both, the ops manager Federico and the Director, Peppe, and throughout the process, I received clear verbal and written assurances that an offer was forthcoming. I was explicitly told I would receive an offer “tomorrow,” and I was even invited to a meeting framed as a job offer discussion, where I was informed that I would have received another email or phone call the next day. I haven't heard back from them so I had to follow up through an email. After this, the company abruptly, out of nowhere, reversed its decision and informed me they had chosen to proceed with another candidate without any explanation. This kind of handling is not just disappointing—it’s unprofessional. Candidates invest significant time and energy into application processes, and to be misled in this way reflects poorly on the company’s integrity and internal communication. It’s unacceptable to make concrete promises and then backtrack without a clear, accountable explanation. This experience was discouraging and a stark red flag about how the company may operate internally. I would caution others to manage expectations when applying and hope the company takes serious steps to improve the transparency and reliability of their hiring practices.
