Stage 1: Talent Acq./HR interview Stage 2: In person with manager Stage 3: In office with 2 team members Process seemed very positive until 2 days later I received a generic 'pass' email with no details or personalization, despite spending over 5 hours interviewing with the company

A 4 week process (Feb & March) consisting of 1) screening call2) team interview 3) interview with person that had left the position 4) 2 x 30 min VC's with CEO & COO. I was asked to provide feedback post each process, which I provided in great detail, yet received none in return and had to chase regularly for responses and/or updates. The role was advertised as a Senior EA position that would lead the current admin team, but the duties didn't quite marry per each person I spoke to. The response I finally received (1 week post Stage 4, and me emailing asking for clarity), as to why I didn't get the role due to not having enough 'managerial experience' (I do, in spades), so it is apparent that they do not know what is is they seek thus, was a complete waste of my time. Poor candidate experience with primary areas of communication/updates severely lacking. It doesn't surprise me why they have been unable to fill the role for some years, as there is little parity re: job spec vs. actual needs.
