My interview process began with a direct and detailed conversation with a senior executive, which gave the impression that the company was seriously considering my profile. However, after the interview, I received no updates for 22 days. When I followed up myself, I was informed that I was not shortlisted for a second round. Interestingly, my first round was already with the C-Level — I’m still curious who exactly conducts the "second round" after that. To add to the confusion, my application status still shows as "Interviewing," and the same job has been reposted with a new date. Overall, I believe the company needs to improve its communication transparency, timeline management, and the overall consistency of its hiring process. For a role of this level, the lack of clarity was surprisingly unprofessional.
