I was contacted by HR from this well-known company for an opportunity, and the process started off well. The HR clearly shared the budget, which I was okay with. Two technical rounds were held back-to-back in a single day, and the feedback was positive. The third and final round was with HR to discuss compensation and my counter offer. I submitted all required documents and had a formal discussion, but after that, there was complete silence—no response, no update, no closure. It's disappointing to be ghosted after going through multiple rounds and formalities. For such a reputed organization, this kind of unprofessional behavior is not expected. A simple email to inform the outcome would have shown basic respect for the candidate's time and effort.
