I applied for a Manager role with Refinery29 in the middle of July. I applied online and was in contact with the R29 recruiter the next day. After our 30 minute conversation via phone he let me know he'd be in contact regarding next steps. He followed up the same day via email letting me know they'd like me to come onsite the following day. I was able to make this work and was onsite meeting with him and the VP hiring for the role. They energy was amazing and the role was exactly what I was looking for. I was told they'd be in contact early the following week to set up the final round. That he was and I was onsite Wednesday for the final. I had a great time meeting with the Head of the Department and the team. Roughly 1 week later I was made an offer. Very positive interview experience, ended up graciously accepting the role!

Had a very positive conversation and was told I'd be coming back for a second round and also be given an assignment. Followed up, radio silence. Followed up again, nothing. It's been over a month and I have yet to get a response. Even if I wasn't the preferred candidate, it's unprofessional to ignore follow up emails. I'm so disappointed by this company and the experience.
