I had a screening call with a recruiter, which seemed okay, but it got a bit weird when they brought up fake applications and did a really awkward impression of foreign accents. They said I'd move on to the next interviews, and I emailed my availability when they asked, but then I never heard back. It's strange to ghost a candidate like that.

I interviewed in August 2024 for the Sr. Technical Project Manager position at Tillster. I got through the first two rounds and was invited for the final interview. The final interview was cut short because of a family emergency, but I think I answered the questions well before it happened. Some questions were unusual, but I felt like the interview went okay overall. After the interview, I sent thank-you emails to everyone I spoke with. But then there was no communication from the company at all. I waited four days for any news or feedback about the job, and got nothing back. This silence is really disappointing and makes their hiring process look bad. Companies should really keep candidates informed.

Behavioral Technical

This interview process was longer and more thorough than I expected. After seeing a posting, I reached out and spoke to someone who asked me some basic questions. Then Jim, a recruiter who seemed genuinely interested in me and my skills, called back. About a week later, Jim contacted me again to arrange a time to meet the team. That's when I realized why Jim was asking those questions – I was scheduled to interview with the department manager, a member of the team I'd be joining, the department VP, the CTO, and the VP of HR. During these 30-45 minute sessions, even the CIO briefly introduced himself with a smile. It was obvious these people are well-coordinated, organized, and take finding the right fit very seriously. I liked that.

The interview was planned for 4 hours and involved speaking with 4 people. I arrived early and had to wait until the scheduled start time. Instead of a proper meeting room, I was taken to a room with old computer equipment. I spoke with the first Project Manager, who was pleasant and knowledgeable. After about 20 minutes with the second person, the PMO Manager, I was told by HR that I was no longer being considered. When I asked why, I was told I'd get an email with feedback, but I never received it and they stopped responding to my follow-ups. I'm very disappointed with how I was treated.
