After applying online, I was invited to complete an online assessment. Approximately 1.5 weeks after completing the OA, I was invited to a technical phone interview.

I emailed the recruiter a week after the phone interview, asking for feedback, but received no response. I did not hear back from the recruiter until more than a month after the technical interview, when I was invited to an on-site.

Before the on-site, the recruiter asked to set up a brief call (this was the first time speaking with the recruiter; all other communication until now had been via email). On the day of the call, the recruiter failed to show, and they rescheduled for the following day. The next day, the recruiter was 10 minutes late to the call.

While the interview questions themselves were not particularly hard, this lack of feedback, communication, and respect for time was frustrating throughout the process, and eventually led me to withdraw my application and accept another offer.

I encourage recruiters in the future to streamline the communication process (even if to let the candidate know the team is still making a decision).
