Earlier this year I had a really great initial interview (via zoom) with the company's Senior HR Director (for an HR Director role). It went well and I was scheduled for a second interview with the GM of the property.
30 minutes before this next meeting was about to begin the interviewer's assistant emailed me to ask to move our time to later in the afternoon to accomodate the interviewer's changing schedule. No big deal, I can be flexible. Then 5 minutes before the rescheduled time, she emails again and asks to move it to the next day, claiming there had been an emergency. This was concering, but I decide to give them the benefit of the doubt and agree.
I log into the meeting the next day a few minutes early, and wait patiently. 5 minutes. Then 10. At 15 minutes I email the admin and ask if anyone will be joining to interview me. I logged out of the empty meeting 5 minutes later.
3 days later the admin emails me back. She claimed another emergency had come up, didn't offer any apology or additional information, and said she would "send me another meeting invite shortly". She didn't even ask me when I would be available - just sent a meeting invite blindly for later in the week.
I was pretty dissapointed and upset, but after some time I was happy it went down that way instead of progressing, wasting more time or even worse, accepting the role and joing an org with such a broken culture and lack of respect for their potential employees. If they treat you this way during the hiring process, I don't want to see how they treat their employees. Yikes.
P.S. The admin emailed me the next week, informed me that they were disapointed that I "chose to simply not show up to the rescheduled interview" and that they were no longer considering me for the role. I emailed her back and told her I was no longer considering them as an employer for over a week now.
