Was interviewed over the phone 3 or 4 times had a certain number of email exchanges with department, supervisor, HR... Told them I had several offers but preferred them, and if we didn't agree to please tell me right away so I wouldn't loose the other chances. They then called for one on one meeting with supervisor. Seemed to go very well. Then was introduced to HR person, who told me that "there should be no problem". My salary request was not a problem. Got a second one on one with the Supervisor, went even better, then we shook hands, and since nothing.
No call, no email, nothing at all. After 3 weeks I called and sent polite emails reminding them that if I was not accepted I just needed to know it. Nothing. Phone was not answered, messages not returned.
3 or 4 months later got an automatic computer email "Thank you for your application. We regret to inform you etc..."
