It's a shame that a large company like this, affiliated with Dow Jones, doesn't respect candidates' time and ghosts them. How you treat potential employees really shows the team's culture. Going through 5 interview rounds and then hearing nothing back is a tough experience that no one should face.

I had a zoom interview with the hiring manager, who ironically laughed at me for wearing a suit. He spent about 15 minutes asking about my past job timelines, essentially repeating questions about how long I was at each role and why I'd switch jobs. He seemed not to be listening. He then moved on to technical questions but seemed to need to guide my answers, offering his own phrasing like, "That's correct, but I would say..." for every question. The whole experience felt unprofessional due to his time-wasting, arrogance, and lack of listening. I ended the call politely and withdrew my application because I couldn't imagine working with someone like that.
