I applied for a job (or 2) at Bungie a while ago. They didn't hire me, and didn't say why not. 
They're not required to, but it would be a lot more constructive/ less depressing if they did.
On the other hand, though, some people *really* can't take criticism at all, so leaving people in the dark is about the only thing they can do without any major backlash.

I'm all set to getting myself my very own anvil! I've concluded the table vise I've been using isn't good at all for anything but light shaping. That, and the fact that the face of the striking surface is ruined via raeg means that anything flat hammered against it would be curved.
