While the process began with a prompt and friendly conversation with the recruiter, communication quickly became inconsistent. I was told there would be a second interview, but no follow-up or confirmation ever came. Despite polite follow-ups on my end, I received no clear updates or scheduling details — and was eventually ghosted entirely. A hiring process should reflect the professionalism and values of the company. In this case, the lack of transparency, unfulfilled commitments, and absence of closure made for a disappointing experience. Candidates invest time and energy — at the very least, they deserve a timely response, whether it's an invitation or a rejection.
