Forget about prestige, is credit what you want to do?

I interviewed with these guys for an hour and fifteen minutes. I followed up the following week for status: no response. Seems like a great org lol

Had two separate conversations with several directors as my second round, very encouraging with great feedback from everyone. HR communication was great up until then — was told by HR they would follow up after MDW and still haven’t heard anything despite reaching out to them several times now. Did you ever get any response? Not sure what’s going on there internally but it’s not very encouraging as a prospective employee.
