I applied for the position in September 2013. My first call back was only in November 2013 for a December 2013 interview. Had a phone interview and face to face interview in December and then a second interview in January 2014. Was ultimately hired and began in March 2014.

I interviewed with the company about a month ago. After almost a 2 hour interview, the recruiter came back in and talked about the next phase in the hiring process. He promised to be in touch with me within a week --even if it was just to say a decision hasn't been made yet. Three weeks go by and no follow up from the recruiter. I even emailed him for a status update, which was ignored. I would have been completely fine to hear I wasn't chosen for the job. What bothers me is the lack of professionalism and disrespect to not follow up as promised and then ignore me. There are a lot of expectations placed on the job candidates with how to look, how to act, and how to follow-up, etc. Sadly, the rules of etiquette are one-sided. A simple prefabricated email saying something like - 'Thanks for taking time to interview with us, but we are not moving forward with you--would be fine. It is just common courtesy.
