Interview
There was a lot of miscommunication between department at Aurora. I received a meeting link from a recruiter, and was under the impression I was going to have a meeting with a recruiter. Though, I was surprised to see that my initial interview was in fact with a hiring manager. This was so unprofessional, and it wasn't previously outlined. Then on top of that the interviewee herself mentioned that the company has poor organization, which is apparent because it took them over 10 days to get back to let them know that I didn't make it to the next round. Mind you, they promised I'd hear back from them within 5 business days! A lot of other people had similar negative experience with this company, I can see and clearly understand all the negative reviews...

Question 1
- Why are you interested in this role? - Why Aurora?
Ghosting candidates after interview.
For any interview they ask the candidate to complete tasks which take an entire days time to research. And multiple rounds of hour long interviews. If the candidate invests so much time in the process they deserve to get atleast an email informing that they (Aurora Energy Research) are not moving forward with the candidate.
Ghosting the candidate is very unprofessional.

Interview
Aurora Energy Research has executed the most grossly incompetent hiring move I've ever seen with someone close to me. They started with a brief 30-minute first interview, then invited them to a one-hour second interview loaded with prep work, including a case study and a role play that emphasized the importance of practice. They dedicated a whole week to preparing diligently, only for Aurora to unexpectedly postpone the interview—not just once, but twice! First, they rescheduled it by a week, then by an additional two weeks, just before it was scheduled to happen. To make matters worse, they even had the nerve to send a rejection email while the interview was still up in the air, filling the position with another candidate in the meantime! This situation is an utter mess and clearly demonstrates Aurora's disregard for people's time and effort. They wasted a full four weeks of their life! And if that wasn't bad enough, Aurora didn't even bother to send a response to any emails sent asking for clarification. It's an appalling display of disrespect and negligence.
