Process

This was absolutely the worst interview experience I've had in my 10 years of professional career, mainly because of the company's recruiter. Here are just a few things that happened:

  • The recruiter was extremely bad at communication. I had to personally chase down several emails and LinkedIn messages to get the exact details of my own interview.
  • After the first technical phone interview, I heard nothing for a couple of days. After I chased the person on LinkedIn again, he told me I didn't pass. However, a couple of hours later, he messaged me again, saying he had mistaken it and that I did pass. He told me to wait for instructions for the next round.
  • It has been three weeks since, and there are still no updates whatsoever on the next round. They've received my availability a couple of times, and each time there's been no reply.
  • At this point, I've pretty much given up and assume they don't want me that much.
