I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at AllianceBernstein in Mar 2014
Interview
1st round was 30 mins phone screening. Covering a wide range of topics. 2nd round was a Skype interview with 2 managers 40 mins each.One was hr another technical. Basic questions.
HR told me that I had a positive feedback from my interviewers but could not give me an offer because the job offering is closed. Such a pathetic reason! Made me wait for 3 weeks to give such a petty reason for rejection. A company should have respect towards a persons time. Had good opinion about the company after this incident completely lost the respect for it. Shows how poor the management here is. Would never apply again.
