I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at iHeartMedia
Interview
Over the phone interview with recruiter, In Person on-site interview with Direct Manager, then Third Interview with IT Head. Was told I would hear back shortly after the third interview and then never heard from them again.
It's unbelievable that such a large company would conduct themselves in such a way, if I wanted to get ghosted I can go on Tinder/Bumble any day of the week and I wouldn't have to take time out off from my current job or put a suit to get ghosted either. And to top it all off I still get notifications from LinkedIn and Glassdoor about how they are still looking to fill the same position MONTHS after I interviewed with them. Not sure what they are looking for but they are definitely going the wrong way about it.
Nice screening interview with a recruiter, then technical interview without a single technical question, only my background description which is exactly aligned with the tech stack they using, then rejecting without any reasonable feedback, only abstract and contradictive "you have strong background and a lot of valuable experience, however we decided to go with a different candidate".
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at iHeartMedia (Austin, TX) in Sept 2022
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me about an interview and immediately ghosted with no explanation. I'd prefer careful consideration before reach out or a reason why the interview process ended ended.
I applied online. I interviewed at iHeartMedia (Austin, TX) in Mar 2021
Interview
(1) HR Phone Screen - simple, basic, what you'd expect from any HR phone screen.
(2) Interview with SVP of Engineering - conversational, basically talking about the project they're working on and what my place would be in it. Very nice guy, has been in the industry for a while and knew his stuff.
(3) Interview with two team members - one was similarly conversational, the other was more technical-minded and asked a lot of questions about my previous projects. This was the one that I felt I didn't do well on, but still felt like I answered his questions satisfactorily judging by his tone.
... and then nothing for 2.5 weeks. I reached out for contact but haven't heard anything back. I assume I've been ghosted. If that's the case, extremely unprofessional and frustrating.
(4) ... Ghosted!
