Worst interviewing experience in my 16 year career. First, I was directly recruited to the role, I did not apply. But the role seemed very promising, so I engaged with the company to pursue it. In doing so, I spent 9 hours of my personal time, had 7 different meetings, interviews, conversations, and people, and burned an additional several hours of driving. Literally, they asked me to drive out to Lititz from my home to take a tour of the headquarters and see what it was like over there. There were discussion of benefits. I had one more meeting with 2nd person I interviewed with, and just discussed if I had any other questions about the role. During that meeting, I mention that I didn't, but this has been a long process. I mentioned that it conjured memories of interviewing at Comcast, with a long, several session interview schedule, before Comcast pulled the rug out from under me. I mentioned I didn't think Listrak was doing that, but this is a long enough time commitment that it conjured the same memories. Finally, as I am waiting for (what I believed to be) an offer letter, instead I get a generic "we decided to go in a different direction" rejection letter. When asked for follow up *several times*, I finally hear that *2nd* person I interviewed with decided that they wanted to keep looking after all. Completely pulled the rug out after a month and a half of conversation with no warning, and ended up being *worse* than my Comcast experience.
