After receiving feedback that I passed the final round interview, the recruiter said she just needed to check references and my transcript before giving me an offer. I was told by another Medallia employee that I basically got the job offer and that the fact checking was just a formality. Almost 3 weeks after I received this notification, I was told I would not be extended an offer. I have a feeling this was because my GPA did not match their standards, which was absurd as I had clearly stated my GPA in my resume before the interview process started and I still made it past all of the interview rounds (including the Challenge). I asked my references how their talks with Medallia went, and I was informed that the recruiter grilled my reference on the reason for my low GPA, which was unprofessional and unnecessary. I am disappointed in this process as I was looking forward to working for this company for the months that it took to complete the interview process. I feel I am qualified to be hired as I made it through all of the interview rounds, and I can't believe I did not get an offer because of something like my GPA that could have easily been addressed in the beginning. I sincerely hope that no one else has an experience similar to mine. The recruiter was wonderful and the employees are all amazing, but I am still in shock as to the unprofessional manner of this process. My friend had a similar experience interviewing with Medallia a few months ago and she was heartbroken over the process as well. I would hate to see a great company's reputation become tarnished over something such as unprofessional recruiting practices.
