I had a phone interview. It was a really good candidate experience. The recruiter who interviewed me is an absolute star, asking all the right questions and being very thoughtful with her approach. Although I didn't proceed to further stages, I wish nothing but the best to the team.

I was contacted by the recruiting leader for this role. We went through 3 rounds of interviews, but then I was informed they weren't moving forward with my application due to a lack of specific experience in that field. This was something they were aware of from the beginning, yet they still proceeded, which felt like a waste of everyone's time. My interactions with everyone I met were positive, and I would have been excited to work there. My advice is, if you're seeking a candidate with particular experience, don't reach out to individuals who don't possess it. It seems like basic logic.

A Rivian recruiter reached out to me about a job. I got through the final stages, which included a phone screen and two Zoom interviews with several team members. It's been three weeks since then, and I haven't heard back from the recruiter, even though they said I'd get an update by the end of that week. I've tried emailing, calling, and texting them with no reply. I'm guessing I didn't get the job, but as a recruiter myself, I think they should at least respond to let me know the outcome or explain the delay.
