Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. EFFECT Photonics strives to ensure a smooth and efficient interview experience for all candidates. However, we understand this did not happen in your experience. Please know that this was not our intention and we regret any frustration it may have caused. One of the factors contributing to the extended timeline was our participation in OFC and unforeseen travel commitments of the interview team. Regardless, we recognize the importance of streamlining our processes and ensuring timely communication with candidates throughout. Your insights are invaluable to us as we work to improve our recruitment practices. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we wish you the best in future endeavors.
