I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MSCI (Norman, OK) in Nov 2019
Interview
I went through a recruiting agency to setup an interview with them. Went through a phone interview and a written test. Was told that I would here back by the end of next week. Not only did they never give me a response, but they ghosted me and the recruiter. Extremely unprofessional way to handle that and was told they do this to other recruiters too and they are some of the only ones. Ghosting applicants, especially ones invited in for any sort of interview, is terrible enough. However, ghosting the recruiters too is just despicable.
