Disorganized and Disrespectful Hiring Process
I went through multiple interview stages with Siena AI, including a case study that required a significant amount of time and effort. Throughout the process, the Talent Acquisition (TA) team was enthusiastic and encouraging, even mentioning how excited they were for me to present my case study. However, the owner, who was supposed to attend my final presentation, didn’t show up. I had zero explanation.
After all that, I was told I “lacked strategy.” No clarification, no constructive feedback, just a vague, generic rejection email. If I truly lacked strategy, why put me through the entire process, including the case study presentation? It felt like a complete waste of time and effort.
This was by far the worst interview experience I’ve had in my job search ever. It left me with the impression that Siena AI is disorganized and does not respect candidates’ time. If you're considering applying, be prepared for a frustrating and ultimately unprofessional experience.
Respect candidates’ time. If someone isn’t a strong fit, don’t push them through multiple rounds, especially a case study, only to give vague feedback at the end. Be transparent about your hiring criteria and ensure decision-makers actually show up for key meetings. A more organized and respectful hiring process would leave candidates with a positive impression, even if they don’t get the job.
