This interview process was a masterclass in how NOT to communicate and treat people. I feel like I dodged a bullet. I had an initial interview, then coordinated to meet with the CEO at a conference. After several follow ups and assurances (lies) from the CEO saying things like "I will send some times" or "I will have ___ reach out" I got a generic rejection letter. Look... I totally get not being the right fit for the role. But be honest and forthright in your communication and don't make promises you can't keep. This is one bridge I'm happy to burn. Good luck.
