I applied for a Business Development Representative role in the UK after hearing great things about Mews’ culture and values. The process began on October 25th when I submitted my CV and cover letter. A week later, I was asked to submit a 1-minute video within three days, which I completed. Another week passed before I was invited to a Teams interview with the BDR lead. However, the day before the interview, I received an email stating that the company does not provide visa sponsorship, and my application could not proceed. I immediately clarified that I hold a graduate visa, which allows me to work in the UK without sponsorship for two years, but I received no reply until I sent a follow-up email. The response was brief and confirmed the decision without further explanation. I then sent another email providing feedback and expressing how I felt about the lack of communication but have not received a response so far. While I understand that policies may vary, I found it unprofessional to have my application canceled so late in the process without clear communication or explanation. Having invested considerable time preparing for the interview, I had high expectations based on the company’s positive reputation. Unfortunately, this lack of transparency did not reflect the "people-first" culture Mews is known for.
