The recruitment process was really bad. The recruiter never let me know I was rejected. My profile on their website kept saying 'Under Secondary Review' for two weeks. When I called them for an update, the recruiter said I was declined but they were waiting for the chosen candidate's paperwork to clear. It felt like I was the backup option. I found this disrespectful and careless because they didn't seem to care about the applicants waiting two weeks, and it stopped me from focusing on other job searches.
