After sending an online application, I received feedback on my application after a month and I was told they'd schedule a telephonic interview. On the day of telephonic interview, I was called by the HR only to reschedule the phone screen to which I obliged. Post the phone screen interview, I was contacted a month later to schedule a onsite interview (tech + HR) in the coming month (3 weeks to be precise). On the actual interview day, I waited in the lobby for an hour and it was when I was told that the technical hiring manager was on leave and I was asked to walk to an another office for my HR interview!. Waited in the other office for about 30 min. HR interview was good. I got back to my city after the interview. 7 weeks post the HR interview I received an email in which the HR who I was in contact with mentioned that the department doesn't want to invite me for another personal interview. With one email all my hopes came crashing down. I never thought the hiring process at a company as big as AVL could be so unprofessional and unethical! All these events happened in a span of 5 months.

The 1st round via MS Teams about my CV and my relevant experience. The 2nd round in person was a technical interview, focusing on the basics of different types of powertrains. This was more of a quiz than a technical discussion. Job advertised as Hybrid and based in Coventry. Neither of these things are true. Fully on-site and based at a 'customer' office. They wouldn't say where exactly that was, which made it difficult to know what my commute would be... very odd They ghosted me after the final interview, which is very unprofessional. It has been well over a month and never heard back, but they have re-posted the job :/
