Just a terrible experience. Mind you, it was not the interviews themselves; the people were genuinely lovely. But the internal hiring process is a total mess.
It took them two months just to acknowledge my initial application. After finally moving forward, I jumped through all their hoops: a recruiter screen and their various interview panels. I was explicitly told this was the final round and that they’d get back to me either way. Naturally, that was followed by a solid month of radio silence, including them completely ghosting my polite follow-up email.
When they finally decided to send an answer, it arrived at 11 PM on a weeknight. Because nothing says "we value your time" quite like an automated rejection hitting your phone while you’re trying to sleep.
But the late-night delivery wasn't even the best part; the email's actual content was... something. After investing weeks into their process and being ignored for a month, I got a generic copy-paste template holding my hand through how "overwhelming" job hunting can be (truly groundbreaking insight), a random list of third-party job boards as a digital parting gift, and - I kid you not - a shameless plug to follow them on LinkedIn to stay connected.
I don't even care that I wasn't asked to come on - I just wasn't a good fit for them, it happens. But to ghost a final-round candidate for a month, ignore their emails, dump them via an automated template at 11 PM, and then immediately ask them to go boost your LinkedIn follower count? What a fascinating, bold strategy.
