I participated in a two stage interview process, which was conducted within a fortnight. It felt rushed because they wanted to complete the process before heading to the awards in South Africa. There was then almost a two month wait before I was notified of the outcome. I was told this was because the CPO was the decision maker even though the role would not be reporting into them. I had to chase on an almost weekly basis for an update, given only a slight indication that the outcome was positive the day before they went to Sourh Africa, otherwise I would have cut my losses and pursued other opportunities. I discovered when I chased for the final time that the remit of the role was changed last minute by the CEO and given to someone else that they interviews 6 weeks after interviewing me. This did not strike me as best practice and consequently was not the best experience.
