Applied on the corporate careers page and was contacted by an HR rep several weeks later for a phone screen. I explained to the rep that I was actively interviewing elsewhere, but I admired and respected Nordson as an organization above and beyond other prospective employers. The rep then stated: "Please keep me informed of your situation if I need to push on my end. I'm a straight shooter and will provide feedback either positive or negative. I don't believe in stringing people along." After the phone screen, I progressed to an hour-long virtual interview with the hiring managers. The interview was conversational, mixing some substantive questions along with discussion of my previous background. It was a fairly standard hiring manager interview. Several days later, I reached out to the HR rep asking about Nordson's timetable and next steps. I also informed the rep I received an offer from another prospect, but wanted to continue pursuing Nordson's role. The rep thanked me for the update and said they would circle back with the team and provide an answer if they were moving forward or going with another candidate. I thanked them and indicated I needed to provide an answer with regard to my formal offer within 10 days. Next, I was completely ghosted. No response emails. No return phone calls. Not even a formal automated rejection email from Workday. To say the experience was disappointing is an understatement. I had admired Nordson, but after pursuing their interview process, I would never apply again.
