The hiring manager interview itself was professional and engaging, and I invested a significant amount of time preparing for it because I was genuinely excited about the opportunity. Unfortunately, the overall recruitment experience was disappointing. My initial recruiter call was cancelled just minutes before it was due to begin and had to be rescheduled. After completing the interview, I sent a polite follow-up requesting an update but received no response, even after more than two weeks. Regardless of the hiring outcome, I would have appreciated clearer communication and a basic update on the status of my application.
