I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Applied Medical (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
The interview process involved three rounds over the course of more than three months. After completing all interviews, I was told the company was very interested but still considering other candidates. Since then, communication has been inconsistent and frustrating, I was handed off between three different recruiters. The third recruiter initially confirmed continued interest, only to stop responding entirely for the past three weeks. Despite this, the position remains open with no formal rejection or update provided. The lack of transparency and basic courtesy in communication has been disappointing, especially given the time and effort invested in the process.

I applied online. I interviewed at Applied Medical (Rancho Santa Margarita, CA)
Interview
I had six interviews over the course of eight months, all of which were part of the screening processing for the same open position/career posting. After each interview, I emailed the interviewer--who had given me his/her business card--to thank them for their time and consideration.
After the sixth interview, they never bothered to contact me again even though I had reached out multiple times to inquire about the status of the hiring process and my candidacy. After never hearing from after six months of waiting, I figured they just ghosted me and couldn't even give me the courtesy of informing me that they chose someone else. Instead, they just kept me wondering the entire time. They are so unprofessional, and I am now glad I was not hired.
