Anonymous Interview Candidate in Bucharest, Bucuresti
I applied online. I interviewed at Parexel (Bucharest, Bucuresti) in Oct 2022
I was contacted via e-mail by a recruiter to have an interview with the hiring manager. Waste of my time, the interview was okay, easy questions. I was rejected, for reasons best know to them even if I was qualified for the job, even over qualified I can say. I would have sincerely appreciate any explanation for the rejection as my CV is way better than other candidates that already work there. I am really disappointed about this company and with this kind of reaction I am really glad I didn't get the job. Better work anywhere else.
