An incredibly frustrating and unprofessional process. A recruiter reached out to me for the role, and I spoke with her the next day. Two days later I spoke with the CMO who advised that I'd be invited back to the next round. Completely ghosted after that despite multiple attempts at outreach to the recruiter and hiring manager. One thing is not hearing back when you send a resume. But for a recruiter to specifically reach out and then nobody follow up after two interview rounds is very disappointing.

Usual phone screen, multiple hiring manager meetings, cross-functional interviews, and final project. After the final interview and project review, there were an additional 2-3 interviews. One yellow flag I noticed was during the first interview when the hiring manager noted that several senior leaders left the company after just a few months because "they couldn't handle it here". Overall, I invested about 20 hours into the process. Not an insignificant amount for a role. After a week of silence, I received a generic rejection letter. Pro-tip for recruiters: If a candidate makes it to final rounds and has invested almost a half work week in the process, it's considered unprofessional not to deliver this news via a personal call or email explaining more than "we went with another candidate"
