AT&T interview questions

This was the strangest interview experience I've had in my career. I first was invited for a face to face interview in campus. It was mostly behavioral. You start by telling a nice story about the different experiences mentioned in your CV. Then, different behavioral interview questions ........ nothing really out of the ordinary. Afterwards, I was invited for second round phone interview. I was interviewed by the lead HR for the LDP program. Again, it was mostly behavioral interview. The interviewer went further into details of my past experiences with this, and a time where I've face that .......... I was told that I will be contacted back within 3 weeks. A month later, I email the lead HR who tells me that I'll be contacted by my local recruiter shortly. Another month later, I email both the recruiter and the HR persons, but nothing back. This tells how bad is this sinking 250k-employees ship. They don't even bother getting back to candidates that went through all interview rounds!!! I don't mind being rejected, but I would expect the minimum professional courtesy of an answer specially after putting effort and time in the interviewing process. I've a good offer since then, but I let prospective candidates know how bad is the hiring process ...... no talent in, no innovation out. One advice: if you have ambitions in life, go work for somebody else. This is an old industry turning into utility.

I was a current employee interviewing for a promotion in another center. The downside of this process is AT&T had already chosen the person they were going to promote and yet still interviewed others in order to put up the facade that this process was legitimate. This often happen with internal promotions at AT&T. The interview process involved a 30 minute phone interview as well as a project detailing an action plan for the first month in the position. I was declined as a candidate but informed that I was the runner up for the position.
