I had four interviews (one lasting three hours), two calls, one psychotechnical assessment, two business cases, and a trip from Chile to Croatia over three months, only to be told they wouldn’t move forward with my candidacy. If that’s not a waste of time and resources, I don’t know what is. Some red flags I should have noticed: *A no-show for a dinner they organized, with no cancellation or apology afterward. *Long waiting times for responses, despite promises of prompt replies. *Endless meetings with the CEO, which turned into monologues. *Criticism of business case results, despite my asking for clear objectives and being told, “Do it as you want.” *Being asked personal questions not relevant for the position. *Not a single mention of compensation at any point. My advice: if there’s no offer after the third interview, just walk away.
