Interview
Application
InterviewThe process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at William Grant & Sons (New York, NY)
I was asked to interview with the company 6 times. I've never heard if that in my life. First was with HR, then a supervisor, then a manager, General council and head of finance. When that was over they asked me to speak with the supervisor again. They then ghosted me for two weeks until I finally got a response that I didn't get the job. The whole experience was upsetting because I basically put 8 hours of work jumping to fulfill every request for interviews. Normally a second interview is a good sign but not here. I was left confused and stressed out for weeks.
