Worst interview ever. The first recruiter called me 30 minutes earlier than our scheduled time. Then, I moved onto a tech phone call, but the interviewer was not even there. I left the Google Meet after 30 minutes because I had another back-to-back interview with another company. I rescheduled, nailed the interview, and proceeded to the on-site.

I passed the technical part of the on-site but not the hiring manager round. The recruiter said he could get back to me the following Friday but never did. It was the Tuesday after that I finally received the "unfortunate email".

Here comes the best part. I was matched with another team and was set up for another call. On the morning of the interview, I received an email stating there was a conflict, so I had to reschedule. Okay, fine. On the day of the interview, the interviewer was late again. I left the interview room after 20 minutes. Then, the interviewer called me on my phone and questioned why I had left; he was just "running a bit late". I'm like, "Are you kidding me?" I'm not trying to be a crybaby, but if this were a one-off thing, I could understand. However, I was just beginning to see a pattern of bad time management and coordination.

Eventually, there was no offer, but by the end, it didn't really matter. I'm so sick and tired of their hiring process. "Toxic" is an understatement.

Don't even try it. There are many companies out there who would treat candidates much more respectfully.
