I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fort Wayne (Fort Wayne, IN) in Nov 2024
Interview
I thought the interview went well. They said I'd either receive a phone call (offer) or an email. I received neither. Really disappointed in the great city of FW. I expected more from such a prestigious organization. Ghosting is definitely not acceptable in my opinion.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Fort Wayne (Fort Wayne, IN) in Jul 2024
Interview
I applied online and received a call for an interview after 3weeks. I was interviewed by 2 people and it went well. They walked me through the job and the benefits. I really felt I was going to get an offer. I followed up after a week and I was told that the hiring manager has not hired someone yet. 3 weeks has passed and no email or anything informing me if I made it or not. Would be nice to know the outcome.
