Interview
Interviewed with HR. Was pleasant and informative but could not answer all of my questions. Interview went over time allocated but it was ok as she shared more details about the role. She promised to follow-up within a couple of days on the open questions but never did. When I followed with her, she never replied. Expected a professional courtesy as she emphasized the company’s culture of being respectful etc…
