A few weeks after applying, I was randomly called by the lab supervisor at a time I was unavailable. We scheduled a phone interview the next week, and he missed the scheduled call but immediately decided to instead bring me onsite Friday of the same week. Fairly easy interview, but what was really disappointing was the only followup I got was HR lying that they "will be closing this position (from further applications?) and will be reviewing candidates and interviewing on an on going basis (despite how I had at that point already interviewed a few weeks ago, which was in turn almost a month since the position was advertised? Yeah right...)." I'm fine with the standard automated HR rejection emails, but the automated emails blatantly lying to candidates is not okay. Overall, connected with the lab supervisor and an otherwise decent interview experience, but the company's HR department really needs to change their system of candidate rejection to an actual rejection email, rather than saying they're beginning to interview candidates, which is far from the same thing (and no, "other candidates" is NOT supposed to be a bad sign. You really naive enough to think any interviewer's gonna bank it all on one single candidate? Besides, I've had interviewers tell me they were interviewing other candidates who later on advanced me to the next stages).
