I recently went through a recruitment process that lasted over two months, with 7 stages, including a marketing case study that I was given a week to prepare and then present in person at their office. Initially, the talent acquisition team was responsive and proactive, giving me feedback quickly after each stage and mentioning that I had made a positive impression throughout. However, starting from the 6th stage, communication started to break down. Delays became the norm, and I had to follow up myself after each step. At the final stage, I was told to expect a decision by a certain date — that day passed, and still nothing. After a couple of days, I followed up again and explained that I had received other offers and needed their final answer in order to make an informed choice. I never got a reply. I was completely ghosted. I’m honestly shocked that a company like Uber could deliver such a disappointing and disrespectful candidate experience. After so much time and effort invested — including week-long case preparation — it felt like a huge waste of time.
