ARM recruitment approached me, very excited about putting me in touch with MBDA for this position.
Whilst I had other offers (verbal and other interviews) MBDA's representative who interviewed me was absolutely fantastic, accommodated me within a week or so.
Within about 15 minutes of speaking with her i had made my decision that i genuinely wanted to work within the MBDA family.
She had so much passion for the work, that the interview was more of a chat with a friend and i felt very comfortable.
2 weeks later I had my interview with her again and her colleague, 1 hour and 45 mins long, great interview, structured well and had loads of time to discuss my skills, experience and go over a few things that were more generalised.
Had a great interview and was told I would have my answer ASAP.
Within 24 hours I received my offer, was positive and I felt a genuine sense of purpose.
Was told I would have my offer in writing within a few days etc...
4 days went by, then I was called by the recruiter to say they had retracted my offer, gave no feedback & only to apologise.
Had in good faith already declined other offers, which was the biggest kick in the teeth.
Was lucky to recieve an email from the interviewer directly after thank her for her time, hopefully they will reach out should they feel I have the necessary skills for a position there, but i doubt it unfortunately 😕
