I had a disappointing experience interviewing for a Product Marketing Manager role. The initial HR screening went well and gave the impression of a structured process. However, shortly after, I received an automated rejection email from Greenhouse. I followed up with HR for clarification but received no response. Then, I was sent another email confirming my next interview with the hiring manager for March 30, which added to the confusion.
On the day of the interview, I joined on time and waited for over 20 minutes, but the hiring manager never showed up. There was no prior communication, no update, and no follow-up even after I reached out again. Overall, the process felt highly uncoordinated and unprofessional, and the lack of communication throughout made the experience frustrating and unclear.
