I interviewed for a senior-level role and had a mixed experience with the overall process. After applying, I did not hear back for about two weeks, but was then invited to schedule a phone interview. I appreciated the opportunity and scheduled the earliest available time. On the day of the initial phone interview, there was a last-minute reschedule, but the conversation was completed later that day. The interview itself was brief, and I was told there was interest in moving me forward to meet with senior leadership. There were a few additional scheduling changes following that, which extended the timeline. When I arrived for what I understood would be my first in-person interview with one leader, it was instead conducted as a panel interview. While the conversation itself was positive, the format was unexpected. After the interview, I followed up as appropriate but did not receive any further communication regarding the status of the role. Even a general update or closure would have been appreciated for transparency. While I have since accepted another opportunity, I was disappointed in the lack of communication and consistency throughout the process. With clearer coordination and follow-up, the candidate experience could be significantly improved.
