Interview
The initial stages of the interview process, including the technical panel and system design discussion, went well, and logistics were even discussed. However, the subsequent lack of communication, marked by delayed updates regarding the hiring manager's availability and ultimately learning that the role was filled without further contact, left a negative impression despite the positive start.

Interview
Cautionary tale: Believe the negative reviews.
I had an initial phone interview. The person who had arranged the interview contacted me after the interview and wanted me to interview in person, with someone from the department I’d be working in. When I arrived for my interview, the person who was supposed to interview me, was not there. The person who scheduled my interview had forgotten to tell their colleague I was coming in. I was not impressed. This was a complete waste of my time, as I had taken the day off from work, and traveled. (The interviewer was out that day,) I made the mistake of scheduling another interview. This was a group interview with several people. The interview went very well. However, I received a generic rejection letter.
It appears that this was a ghost job they posted, because no one was hired. I’ve searched the job title and ‘Hanscom’ and nothing comes up. Only the former employee who used to have this role. This is completely dishonest to post jobs they don’t intend to fill. To say that this process has annoyed me is an understatement. Don’t waste your time with this organization, they have no respect for candidates’ time. Oh and did I mention that they had over 100 applicants for this position? I can only imagine how many other applicants wasted their time and energy.

Question 1
They asked me to share some strategies I have been using in my current role. They seemed interested in several of the examples I shared.
Thank you for the feedback about the interview process at HFCU. We reviewed every open position from October 2024 and can confirm that those roles have all been filled. We wish you the best of luck in your job search.
Working with the interview team was awesome from start to finish. They communicated often. They met all the timelines they set or communicated appropriately with reasoning. Overall the application through to hiring experience was something many places strive for.
