Interview Process Lacked Transparency and Respect for Candidates’ Time: I was in the interview process with PMI for over 3 months. Throughout that time, I was told to be patient and received repeated messages saying that an update or decision would come the following week. This turned into a cycle of vague updates with no clear communication or timeline. After all that time, I was eventually informed that an offer had been made to another candidate. While I understand that hiring decisions are competitive, the prolonged lack of transparency and repeated postponements gave me false hope and made it difficult to plan my own next steps. I believe candidates deserve a more respectful and honest experience—especially when a process drags on for several months.
