I was contacted by a recruiter on March 5 and moved quickly through an initial phone screen and hiring manager interview. I was then invited to a final round onsite.
The final loop was extensive. It included a 5-hour onsite with multiple team members and an additional 3 virtual interviews scheduled for the following day. I was also required to prepare and present a case study based on prior work, which involved recreating analysis with anonymized data and building a full presentation.
The onsite experience itself was positive. The team was professional, and the conversations were engaging. The case presentation with the hiring manager felt productive and aligned with the role.
After completing the onsite and one virtual interview, the remaining interviews needed to be rescheduled. I followed up the following week via the same email thread with the hiring manager and coordinator to help schedule the remaining conversations.
I never received a response.
As of today, April 14, there has been no communication, no update, and no formal rejection.
Feedback:
This was disappointing given the level of effort required. Candidates are asked to invest significant time preparing a case study, traveling onsite, and participating in a long interview process.
To go completely silent after the final round, without any follow-up or closure, reflects poorly on the candidate experience.
