This was the most unprofessional interview experience I've ever had and I blame myself for ignoring red flags. First the recruiter ghosted me for our intro call. I followed up multiple times and eventually connected and they blamed a phone issue for the reason it was missed. Next there were multiple errors with scheduling the first round but things happen. Finally I had a lovely first round interview and was told the recruiter would reach out with next steps which included a presentation. The next day I reached out to follow up with the recruiter and didn't hear until Friday afternoon because she was waiting on feedback. I wasn't able to respond until the next day but began working on the presentation given to me. I got a generic email the next day saying they gave the position to someone else. I called to clarify-which at the very least HR was open to speaking with me. I recognize there are a number of applicants but it's up to the employer to determine when they want to cut off applicants and once they do that give all applicants an opportunity to interview. To give someone a task to create a presentation and then cancel the interview feels incredibly unprofessional. I will blame more on poor management than ill intent but I honestly can't believe a company would operate this way.
