My first interview with the talent acquisition team went very well. The conversation was smooth, professional, and gave me a positive impression of the company and the role. The second interview with the team in Paris was more mixed. The discussion itself was fine, and I felt that I answered their questions thoroughly with thoughtful and constructive responses. However, the interview felt somewhat unprepared on their end, which made the exchange less structured than expected. After the interview, I was informed that I would not be moving forward to the next step (a third interview). I reached out to ask for feedback so I could better understand their decision and improve for future opportunities. Unfortunately, I only received a very generic response. I followed up once more in case my request had been overlooked, but I did not receive any further reply. Overall, while parts of the process were positive, the lack of clear feedback and communication afterward was disappointing. Given the time and effort candidates invest in preparing for interviews, providing brief but constructive feedback would be a professional and appreciated practice.
