After attending the interview, I received no updates for weeks despite assurances. My time was wasted, and the promises made were not kept. The lack of communication was highly disappointing and unprofessional.

Interview
I went through a nearly three-month interview process for a role at Match Group that ultimately ended with a copy-paste rejection email and no substantive feedback whatsoever.
The process itself was extensive: recruiter screen, hiring manager interview, a three-day case study, a multi-interviewer presentation of that case study, and two additional interviews on top of that. I put a significant amount of time and genuine effort into the work as the case study alone required meaningful research and analysis.
The bigger frustration was the communication throughout. Responsiveness from the recruiting team was inconsistent, with noticeable gaps that made it difficult to gauge where things stood. I had to follow up multiple times just to get a response at every step. After investing that level of time, the conclusion was a generic, templated rejection email with no context or feedback whatsoever.
I understand that companies can't always give detailed feedback, but a three-month process that includes a multi-day deliverable warrants more than a form email. Candidates deserve at minimum a human response and basic transparency about the decision. The experience left a poor impression of how the organization values people's time.
