    Kennedys Training Contract 2023

    The irony is that 'time is of the essence' but they took over a month to send out rejections - even though they had already sent out offers.

    Kennedys Training Contract 2023

    Which takes me back to my original point, they can’t take a minute to fill in every applicant’s name, when we spent hours researching the firm, doing SSTs for them and VIs? This wasn’t the online app stage. This was a step before the AC. You’d think they’d be a little more respectful but maybe...

    Anyone get a PFO from Kennedys? Is there some reason they’re delaying them?

    I really don't understand why firms always have to take so long to send out rejections. Especially when offers have already been given.
