Other Presentation
I was initially reached out to about the position and they told me it would be a quick process. Everyone I interviewed with told me it seemed like I was made for the job. However, they continued to draw out the process. Over 2+ months, I interviewed with 11 different people over 9 different interviews. Every time I thought it was done they asked for more. They asked me to do a writing assignment, which I completed, and then a week later asked for another one, of which I did research for and completed. I got great feedback on each one. I put so much of my time and effort into this process, only for them to choose the other candidate over me. No one from the company reached out to me to explain, only my recruiter told me that it happened. I understand a company wanting to make sure they have the best candidate, but that was truly overkill and an unfair waste of my time. They kept me strung along by telling me they had no hesitations about me in each interview and that I would be amazing in the position.
