I applied online. I interviewed at SunTrust (Richmond, VA) in Jul 2015
Interview
During a phone interview with a SunTrust Human Resources VP, I was told I was the first candidate to be advancing to the next stage of the interview process starting as soon as they could find other candidates to interview with me. I week went by and I heard nothing back from SunTrust. When I emailed and called, I was notified that the things I was told during the phone interview were never said, that they already had several "highly qualified" candidates, and they were very close to a hire. I am still very confused and I do not believe I am getting the truth to why I was not given an interview after being told I would.

Interview
Applied online and received an email asking me to contact the recruiter. Set up a phone screen call with recruiter which outlined basics regarding pay, benefits, and making sure I was a potential fit. After that I was invited to participate in a phone interview with 3 managers a few days later. 2 hours after phone interview was told they were very impressed with my qualifications and wanted to fly me down for an in person interview.
In person interview seemed to go well though managers seemed to talk more about the job than letting me talk about myself and what I brought to the table. After an hour of this I was showed around the office and introduced to other coworkers and then taken to lunch then I took a cab back to the airport. Bank paid all of my expenses.
It took them over a Month to tell me I was not selected and I practically had to force it out of them because there was zero follow up from anyone despite my prompt thank you follow ups with all involved. When I called to inquire the status I was told they were wrapping up interviews but then proceeded to drag out making a decision another 3 weeks.
Managers need to be willing to let prospective candidates talk more and explain what they bring to the table rather than just talking about the job to me. You don't have to sell it to me I'm already interested. Also, please be polite and promptly follow up with someone, there is something to be said for good customer service and that applies to job interviews as well. I shouldn't have to wait a month to be told I'm not getting this.
