Worst Interview Experience I’ve Had
Interviewed for a Product Manager role at Touch 'n Go Group through an internal referral.
Honestly one of the worst candidate experiences I’ve had professionally.
After my referral was submitted, there was no response initially. After a follow-up, I was told I had already been contacted previously, which wasn’t true. Communication only came later.
Two separate interview calls were then scheduled with the recruiter. Both times, I rearranged my work schedule and waited for the calls, but there were no calls, no prior notice, and no proactive updates. I had to follow up myself each time.
I understand unexpected situations or workload issues can happen, but repeatedly missing scheduled interviews without communication shows a serious lack of professionalism and respect for candidates’ time.
Very disappointing experience, especially coming from a well-known corporate company.
