After being directly approached by a senior NYC recruiter from Braze on LinkedIn, I was intrigued and appreciative of the opportunity to engage in their interview process. The recruiter was quick to set up a phone interview, and I invested significant time in preparing, aiming to make a strong impression.I was informed that the interview process would be comprehensive yet swift, with an expected duration of around three weeks. This clear timeline set my expectations for a structured and respectful recruitment journey. The phone interview itself went smoothly, allowing me to share insights about my experience and learn more about the company's needs and culture.However, the professionalism I encountered initially did not extend through the process. Since the completion of the phone interview, I have not received any form of communication from the company—no feedback, updates, or indications of next steps. This silence has persisted well beyond the initially stated three-week timeline, leaving me in a state of professional limbo.The lack of follow-up has been particularly disappointing, considering the time and effort dedicated to preparing for the interview and engaging in the process. It is my hope that this feedback serves as a constructive note for Braze to improve their communication with candidates. Ensuring that all participants in the interview process are kept informed reflects respect for their time and contributions, enhancing the company's reputation among potential future employees.
