Lack of Transparency and Poor Communication
My interview experience was disappointing due to unclear and inconsistent communication. While the initial conversations were friendly, the process became increasingly confusing. After completing all rounds, including a case study, I was told to wait one week for a decision because another candidate still needed to present. A week later, there was no update-and the job posting was refreshed instead.
Nearly three weeks later, I was informed they still couldn’t decide because that candidate hadn’t participated. Yet shortly after, I was suddenly told they had selected someone. This contradicted earlier explanations and raised concerns about whether the process was handled honestly or simply used to gather free ideas.
I’m not upset about the outcome, but about the lack of professionalism. Candidates are expected to respond quickly, yet the company provides little communication in return. If the recruitment process is this unclear, it raises concerns about the internal culture as well.
