I had originally understood the interview to be a one-on-one meeting, so I was a bit surprised when multiple applicants were scheduled at the same time. I waited very long for my turn, though the interview was just smooth, and the manager gave good feedback. Disappointed I didn't get the job. Not surprising because they invited too many candidates. I completely understand that hiring processes can change, though I think clearer communication beforehand would help candidates better prepare and manage expectations. And be more intentional with initial screening so as to save everyone's time.
