Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Codal (Chicago, IL) em dez. de 2025
Entrevista
It was a long, thorough interview process. I thought it went well, but then I never heard back. I was ghosted. Not even a "we went another direction" auto-response. Bizarre and unprofessional experience.

Entrevista
⭐ 5 Rounds, Free Consulting, Then… Ghosted 👻
Pros:
If you enjoy long interview processes, this is your playground
You get to share your ideas… for free
Cons:
Communication disappears after they get what they need
Zero closure after multiple rounds
Candidate time = not valued
Review:
Went through 5 rounds of interviews with Codal. Everything seemed serious, structured, and promising at first.
But here’s the twist — after investing hours of discussions, sharing insights, and practically laying out strategic ideas from my 15+ years of experience, the company just… vanished. No update. No feedback. No rejection. Just pure silence.
At this point, it honestly feels like candidates should start sending consulting invoices after round 3 😄
Jokes aside, ghosting candidates after such an extensive process is not just unprofessional — it shows a lack of respect for time, effort, and expertise. Especially for senior roles where discussions go beyond Q&A and into actual problem-solving.
Advice to Management:
Basic communication isn’t that hard. Even a simple “no” is better than disappearing. Respect people’s time — especially when you’re asking for their ideas.
3 rounds total
There is an initial 15-minute screening phone call lead by a coordinator.
Round 1 was a 30-minute video call with current staff. Their answers to company culture and process questions were awkwardly inconsistent with the screening call and very vague.
Overall average experience because employees were pleasant, but the process seemed quite messy. Coordinator initially provided a timeline that was off by 4 weeks, and unfortunately did not update on changes or emailed back. Wondering if this experience was due to the fact that were not part of HR (this was another bit of a red flag).
