But by then the damage was already done.
If someone can confirm when the first interviews actually happened it'll help, but e-mails talking about when interviews would start mixed in with the ones saying it was a real interview don't seem to support that timeline.
That said, I know a lot of people didn't bother signing up to get e-mails, especially the more senior group that would have tended to be in the first batches.
I never heard that it was going to be a flow myself though. I do know a lot of guys thought they were qualified enough that an interview would be a piece of cake though.
