This interview process has been agonizingly slow and frustrating. It started close to 3 months ago and is still not done. But they have been so terrible about communicating any feedback that I was compelled to write a review. In three months, all they could manage to do was two phone interviews.

The recruiter contacted me three months ago.

This was for a position in their Boston office. The recruiter called me and set up a phone screen with one of their solution architects (SA). We agreed on a time. However, the SA called me on the wrong day. I couldn't answer the phone call since I was at work.

I reached out to the recruiter, and she said she accidentally messed up the day of the interview. No big deal.

The SA called me again on the correct day, and we spoke for about 45 minutes. The call went well.

A week later, the recruiter emailed me and said that the first phone interview went well and they would like for me to visit their office. She asked for days and times that might work for me the following week. I did as asked and emailed her a few days and times.

I didn't hear anything from her for a good 10 days. Then she emailed me and said that they wanted to do another phone screen because apparently everyone is on vacation and they can't do an office visit. I have never had someone invite me for an onsite and then cancel it.

Again, stuff happens, so it's okay. I emailed her times for the second phone screen. Days went by, and I didn't hear anything from the recruiter again. I emailed her, and she said she is working on it.

A month went by since my first phone interview, and now I was finally scheduled for a second phone interview. The interviewer called, we spoke, and the call went well.

Another couple weeks passed before I heard from the recruiter. They wanted me to visit their office for an onsite interview. She asked for times that I could visit the following week. I gave her a few times.

I didn't hear anything until the middle of the following week, despite my attempts to email her to confirm the date. Then she emailed me on Wednesday of the following week, saying people are on vacation and she is working on scheduling an onsite visit.

And now it's Tuesday of this week, and I was supposed to visit them last week.

These people need to understand that most interview candidates are also working full-time. You can't let a candidate know on Thursday if you schedule an onsite interview on Friday. If you decide to invite someone for an onsite visit, then stick with your decision.

And how many of your employees are on vacation at a time? Do you not check with the team before you invite someone onsite (twice!) and then postpone it?
