The interview was held on Microsoft Teams. The HR recruiter seemed really disinterested, which was off-putting. She asked vague questions and seemed annoyed by my answers. The process felt excessive for a role with a lower salary than my current nonprofit job at a similar prestigious organization. When I asked about negotiating salary, she stated there was no room and that the range was 70-75k. Before the next round, I was required to complete an hour-long writing test and provide five references who would rank my skills on a scale of 1-10. I withdrew my application after the initial call due to the negative impression of the organization.

I had a really nice phone screening with someone from HR. They were great and even offered some general interview advice. I was hoping for at least a second interview, but I never heard back. What really gets me is that I followed up by email just to confirm, and still no reply. Is it too much to ask for a simple rejection notice? It's frustrating when companies do this.
