Interview
The interview process started off well and moved quickly, leaving me excited about the role. But after the interviews, communication stopped completely. Despite following up multiple times, I received no response for weeks. I eventually got a generic rejection, which felt like an afterthought. Candidates invest a lot of time and energy preparing for interviews, clear and timely communication should be the minimum. I hope the company improves how it handles candidate experience going forward.
