I applied for an entry-level role and went through six interviews and a case study over the span of two weeks, only to receive a generic rejection email. Unfortunately, the recruitment process left much to be desired. The initial recruiting screen was unprofessional—abrupt and rushed, making it difficult to ask any questions about the company. While the later call with the hiring manager was positive, things took a turn from there. I was asked to complete a case study and participate in a two-hour panel interview with multiple team members, all for an entry-level position. Despite receiving positive feedback throughout the process, including remarks about my qualifications, fit for the role, and a top score on the case study, there was no communication about next steps or timelines. I had to follow up twice to even get an update. After being strung along for two weeks, I received a generic rejection email with no feedback. For a company to demand this much time and effort from candidates for an entry-level position, only to respond with an impersonal rejection, is disappointing and unprofessional. In addition, I received no feedback from the hiring manager, and I would've likely been ghosted had I not reached out several times to the recruiter. It’s worth noting the compensation for the role was significantly lower than listed (and way lower than industry standard), and when asked, they refused to budge on their number. While the team members were generally great, the interview process and treatment of candidates is something the company seriously needs to improve. Six interviews and a case study for an entry-level role? That’s excessive, especially when the outcome is handled so dismissively. Candidates deserve better.
