This was by far the most unprofessional experience I've ever had. After enduring seven rounds of interviews, things took a turn for the worse. The HR department kept promising to send the contract, but then they just disappeared on me. It felt like a rollercoaster of hope and disappointment.
And the reference check? It was just plain disrespectful. They asked intrusive questions about my personal life, like whether I had family issues that could mess with my job. What's even more frustrating is that my mentor and referee shared the details with me, and it was shocking and upsetting.
