The hiring process began positively, with a thorough screening involving key team members. Although progressing to the next round took some time, the company remained responsive and kept me updated throughout. I eventually reached the final round, which included spending half a day on-site collaborating with team members on a frontend project.
While I understand and accept the outcome of the rejection, I was disappointed by the lack of detailed feedback. The response I received was a standard “we decided to move forward with another candidate” message, despite my specific request for constructive feedback on my performance.
I believe that candidates who make it to the final stages and invest significant time and effort deserve detailed, actionable feedback. While standard rejection messages are understandable for earlier rounds, they feel insufficient for final-round candidates. Providing thoughtful feedback would reflect positively on the company’s professionalism and commitment to candidate experience.
