I was originally contacted by an HR person via my profile on Hired.com (now defunct) requesting an interview. Communication was slow, if I was lucky I'd receive one update per week. My initial interview was with my would-be manager, it went well. Some weeks went by, and then they scheduled the next round of interviews, which was again conversational in nature, touching on technical experience, specifics like how I would approach writing tickets for bug. It was a two-way conversation, with them explaining the role in significant detail. A positive thing I will say is that the technical people I spoke were friendly and seemed competent. I spoke with a Tech Lead (a peer to this role), a delivery manager, the CTO, and a digital marketing person. This round of interviews also seemed to go well. Some more time went by before I got an update, some weeks. By this point I'm at least a month in from initial contact. An update eventually comes that the CEO wants to speak with me. HR sets up a 30-min call. CEO doesn't show. HR apologizes, sets up a second call. CEO shows up, doesn't seem to have any specific questions, we end up talking about the history of the company for a while. Around 6 weeks from initial contact, I receive the "we won’t be moving forward with your candidacy" boilerplate email from HR. No feedback provided. I cannot explain why the CEO would take the time to interview me and then not even bother to provide basic feedback. Needless to say I dodged a bullet with this company, and I regret not looking at the feedback others have left before I bothered to put time and energy into preparing for the interviews. Very disrespectful of my time, to say the least.
