I had a very disappointing experience with Playlist’s hiring process.
Over the course of nearly two months, I went through six separate interviews, each lasting around one hour. I invested a significant amount of time and effort into the process, prepared thoroughly for every stage, and maintained consistent communication throughout.
However, after all of that, I never received any final feedback or closure. Since August of last year, I have had no response whatsoever from the company.
I understand that hiring priorities can change, positions can close, and candidates may not always be selected — that is completely normal. What is not acceptable is putting candidates through an extensive and time-consuming interview process and then simply disappearing without any follow-up.
A simple update, rejection email, or acknowledgment would have demonstrated basic professionalism and respect for the candidate’s time.
Unfortunately, this experience left me with the impression that the company’s recruitment process lacks organization, transparency, and consideration for candidates.
