My 4-stage interview process went as follows (I didn't engage with any recruiter; all communications were through the hiring manager) : - The 1st round was an AI tool with questions to answer about your background. - The 2nd was with the hiring manager to chat about the role and questions about my background. - 3rd was with a panel - 4th with a VP The process was smooth. I received communication and always responded to the hiring manager promptly. Even when messaged during the weekend, I still showed enthusiasm and interest. Everything was going well until I had the final interview with the VP, and the hiring manager ghosted me after that. I was in total shock! I reached out multiple times, and the emails were ignored. I still can't believe I was treated this way. I was nothing but respectful of people’s time throughout the process. Very disappointing!
