Interview
My experience with the interview process was ultimately disappointing, not because I wasn't selected, but because of how the process was handled after the interviews were completed.
I progressed through multiple rounds and ultimately reached the final stage, where I met with members of the leadership and administrative teams. Everyone I met was professional, thoughtful, and welcoming, and I genuinely enjoyed my conversations throughout the process.
Unfortunately, the candidate experience deteriorated significantly after the final interviews. I was repeatedly given timelines for when a decision would be made, only for those timelines to pass without updates. What was communicated as a decision expected within days ultimately stretched into months. During that time, I often found myself following up for information rather than receiving proactive communication.
The most frustrating part was investing significant time and energy throughout the process, remaining engaged for months while awaiting a final decision, and then ultimately receiving a generic rejection email. After reaching the final stage and being told repeatedly that a decision was imminent, the lack of personalized communication felt dismissive and inconsistent with the otherwise positive interactions I had with the team.
Candidates understand that hiring decisions take time and that not everyone will receive an offer. However, when candidates have invested heavily in a process and remain under consideration for an extended period, clear communication and transparency should be a priority.
I left with a very positive impression of the people I met, but a disappointing impression of the overall candidate experience. My feedback is not about the outcome. It is about the communication, shifting timelines, and lack of closure after a lengthy period of waiting.
