Overall, I found the process disappointing from beginning to end. At the start, I was contacted on LinkedIn even though I had already applied and an intro call had already been booked, which immediately gave the impression that the process was not being handled very carefully. The end of the process was even more disappointing. It felt quite obvious that the team was waiting for another candidate to accept an offer, and that the decision was already largely made before the final stage. I had to be the one asking when I would hear back, and even the hiring manager seemed to be checking with the recruiter rather than actively moving the process forward. The final interview reinforced that impression. After my business case presentation, there were almost no questions, and although the meeting was scheduled for one hour, it ended after around 30 minutes. What I found most frustrating is that I spent significant time preparing the presentation and business case. If the process was already leaning clearly in another direction, it would have been more respectful to cancel that step and save everyone the time.
