I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kimmel Studio Architects (Annapolis, MD) in Nov 2025
Interview
This company is extremely disorganized. I received an email with an interview request, scheduled the interview, they accepted it, then they sent an email a few days later saying, "Thank you for interviewing with us, but we have chosen another candidate." I replied that I had not interviewed yet, double checked the Calendly link to make sure I had the date/time right (I did), and then received another email saying they were looking forward to interviewing me the next day, then, as I was logging on for my interview today, they sent an email 3 minutes before it was scheduled to cancel it." Highly unprofessional.

Interview
I wasn't going to write any kind of review, but after reading the other person's similar experience, I thought it might save others some trouble.
I was contacted for a virtual interview and no one showed up at our scheduled time. In a panic, I actually called their front desk to ask what happened with my interview, which lead to a phone interview instead of Zoom. I then progressed to the second round of interviews (which was also virtual). After following up, no one got back to me and I was essentially ghosted.
Fast forward a few months, I am contacted again because a new position opened up. I was asked if I was interested in an in-person interview and I decided to give it a shot. I ignored the red flags from the past lack of communication and I shouldn't have. I met for the in-person interview and all went well. I was even given a tour of the office and was told I would hear something soon. I follow up and once again, not one single person out of the 4 people on the email responds. Not even to let me know I didn't get the job or that they went in a different direction.
The lack of communication, followed by reappearing just to ghost me again is something I have never experienced with any company I have ever interviewed with before, and is extremely unprofessional.

Interview
They reached out to me and scheduled a zoom interview. I got in the zoom meeting, and no one showed up. I emailed them twice to ask what happened and I just got ghosted. Extremely unprofessional and very disrespectful. I wanted to let it pass but just a warning for those who want to apply to this company.
