I was called to schedule a phone interview. Interviewer seemed like she already knew who she was going to give the job to. I sent a thank you letter after interview nonetheless. I sent follow up email after 2 weeks without a response. After a month, I called the interview and got to speak with her after several attempts. I asked for an update and she was like, didn't you get the rejection letter? okay I'll have it sent to you. yup

Very pleasant interview process, they were very helpful and kind. Helped me with travel accommodations to visit their location and it was a great time visiting the plant. There was a panel interview that was a little intimidating but not terrible.
