Interview process consisted of an initial Zoom interview followed by a presentation/performance task. Throughout the process, everyone I interacted with was professional, organized, and kind, and the experience during the interviews themselves was positive. However, communication after the final stage was extremely disappointing. I was told I would hear back within a week, but did not receive any update. After following up, I was told there were HR considerations and that I would be contacted soon. It has now been over a month with no communication at all, not even a rejection or timeline update. Given the level of time and preparation required, including taking time off work to participate in interviews and prepare performance tasks, the lack of follow-up is unprofessional and does not reflect respect for candidates. I hope in the future they are better able to respect candidates time and simply email a rejection where applicable.
