I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at McKinsey & Company (Chicago, IL)
Interview
I was contacted by their Sr Recruiter and said my interview will be scheduled the following week, I waited for the 1st week to pass and emailed when I did not get any emailbut no response, after around 2 weeks I emailed back to check my status, but no reply, after another week I emailed again to check but still no reply.
Then after 4 weeks from the initial discussion, I decided to call the recruiter. He did pick up the phone but gave the reason that position was moved. But after another day or two I did see the position still on their site and was updated.
This time i reapplied for the position and emailed the recruiter to tell me frankly if being considered or not so I can move with other positions.
But as usual no reply, which is kind of unacceptable behavior from a Recruiter of such a big company which actually gives bad reputation to the company.
