Sodexo Financial Controller interview questions

It seems such a smooth process at first but even after clearing two rounds of interviews they said no because of the pshycomatrics test which they asked me to appear. And after 4-5-6 days and after my follow ups, as per them test result was not satisfactory. I got the point, in the meanwhile they got another candidate who agreed at lower compensation. But I don’t understand why they don’t come and straight away tell us that they can’t meet our expectations. Thats so simple. And that won’t be demotivating atleast

You fill out an application and they email you requesting you set-up a phone interview. Phone screening is easy, basically just go over your resume. Interview was a panel. It was really long , an hour of open ended questions. They ask for a background check , if you pass they give you an offer.
