The process started with an online technical assessment that took about an hour to complete. After that, a recruiter contacted me for a live interview. She was friendly, professional, and told me she would keep me updated on the next steps. Later, I had another interview with who I believe was the hiring manager. He was also courteous, explained the role in detail, and told me they would send me a pre-offer and schedule the final interview with the client. They also asked me to send some additional information by email. After that, I waited for several weeks without any updates, only to receive a generic rejection email stating that the client had decided not to move forward with my application. Overall, the experience felt like a complete waste of time. Given how the process ended, it made me question whether the position actually existed or if candidates were simply being processed to meet internal recruiting metrics. Candidates invest a significant amount of time and effort in interview processes, and companies should respect that by providing timely communication and meaningful feedback instead of sending impersonal, automated rejection emails.
