The first interview was over the phone and with HR. HR was really very interested, warm and informative. Afterwards, I had an online interview with the department manager and an employee. Many questions were asked with the S.T.A.R technique, it took about 1 hour. It was a very long and tiring interview. After the second interview, I received a rejection mail from HR and it was the same rejection mail I received 2 years ago when I joined with another team. I think they either advertise the job when it is already clear who they will hire, or they use a stereotypical rejection mail.

I first spoke with a recruiter, then two members of the team I would be working with, then finally the manager. Everyone I spoke to, from the recruiter to the manager, were kind, competent, and easy to speak with.
