The process took a whopping 6 weeks, lacked communication, and ended in flat out lies. After applying in early August and going through a screen, hiring manager interview, and 2 panel interviews, I had yet another interview with the hiring manager 5 weeks into the process. During this interview, I was told I was being moved to the final interview, and that the Executive Assistant would be reaching out to me to get it scheduled. Well, another week went by, and, after being ghosted by the EA, I contacted the hiring manager. It was at this point, she decided to change her entire story and tell me they were NOT moving me to a final interview…..WHAT?! “The team liked you, I am moving you into the final interview, so and so will reach out to schedule it with you,” to legit crickets and an “unfortunately” email.
I’ve interviewed plenty in my life, and also been on the other side of the fence, and I’ll be perfectly honest in saying this worst interview process I’ve ever experienced. Not only did I sometimes go 2 weeks without communication between rounds, I was flat out lied to by someone I, at one point, wanted to be my manager. What a shame.
