Disorganized. I did my best to qualify the process from the onset. But, false expectations were set and I trusted that I was given accurate info.
I removed myself after the timeline/ process changed several times...and then nobody could ever tell me the decision date or next steps with any degree of certainty. Not even the decision-maker. (mind you- it had been the 6 weeks + 2 onsites (one 1/2 day via panel), a presentation (over 50 hours of work and prep). I understand that organizations are complex. However, there is no reason to give people the run-around. A little professional courtesy isn't too much to ask for.
I came to the interview excited and extremely prepared, (having invested over 50 hours creating a presentation and researching the company), it's only fair to ask for professionalism in return.
I was put off by the total lack of transparency and poor communication. But, what annoys me the most is that that the company was so frivolous with my time.
Rant aside - I met several people and everybody was really nice. I don't doubt that it's a good place to work. It's just hard to stay excited through a broken hiring process.
