I went through the interview process with Pizza Express, and unfortunately, my experience was far from what I expected. After several follow-ups, I finally received feedback, but only after mentioning sharing my experience publicly.

I sincerely hope Pizza Express reflects on this experience and improves how they communicate with candidates going forward.
