I went through 4 interview rounds, which took place over 3 weeks. The recruiter never gave me any feedback after any of the rounds. The interviewers kept rescheduling interviews. I had to keep asking the recruiter for feedback because I had other offers and needed to make a decision. It was unprofessional and showed a lack of respect for my time.

Behavioral Technical

I went through 4 rounds of interviews, and the first 3 were pretty easy. The last round was with the director. After that, the team told me they were going to extend an offer, but I never heard back even after following up a few times. It's unprofessional to ghost candidates like that, especially when they clearly found someone else. At least send a regret email or let me know the position is on hold. It makes you wonder about the work culture there if this is how they treat people.
