The interview process was the longest I have ever experienced.The interview started out with the Recruiter and then a full week went by before I heard back.
Then I moved to a second round and another week went by before I got feedback.
Then I received feedback and was asked to do a third interview and finally, a fourth interview and this was a total of 4 weeks.
After another full week went by, I reached out to the Recruiter and asked for an update. The recruiter kindly let me know that she is still trying to get feedback.
Fast forward to another 2 weeks, I sent another email asking if they can please give me an update. At that point, not until after I asked again, did I receive an email from the Recruiter letting me know that they decided to go in a different direction. What an awful experience to be put through such a long process and wait 3 long weeks just to be informed that I am not being considered.
I hope this feedback is taken into account that it does not leave a warm and fuzzy feeling about Crocs when you treat an interviewee like that.
I don't think it should take 1 week in between each interview to get feedback and then 3 weeks just to get feedback from the last interview. Also, the candidate should not have to reach out just to get a status update after they have invested so much time in this interview process.
Please reconsider your interview process timing and the Recruiter should give the candidate an update after a week or two has passed to keep the candidate interested. Only reason why I was patient is because I thought they would have let me know sooner after my last interview if I was not a fit, and there was a chance they were working out the structure details. Many others in my shoes would not wait this long to hear back.
