I first had a phone screening with the recruiter. He then emailed me a project to complete. After completing the project I moved on to the 45 min zoom interview with two managers. That interview seemed to go very well and they had me walk through the code of my project. I then received an email saying “congrats, they were very impressed with you!” and that I moved on to the fourth and final round. I was then interviewed on a Tues by an engineer and prod manager via zoom. It seemed to go well and I was told they’d try to reach out by Friday with an answer. I never heard back. I emailed the recruiter Monday afternoon and never got a response. On Wednesday I DM’d my friend who referred me at the company vi LinkedIn and it was read but never responded to. Scrolling through my LinkedIn feed I noticed a post the pluralsight team members had all “liked” and it was a post made by a candidate who was celebrating getting the job on the team I interviewed for, a previous Pluralsight intern. I thought “maybe it’s not the same position. I would hope they would reach out to me first.” Today is Thursday; it’s been over a week. I decided to DM the recruiter on LinkedIn and wanted to make sure he got my email. He responded that it “must have got lost in the sea of emails and they had decided to move forward with the other candidate”. After spending so much of my own time and effort over the course of a few weeks interviewing with this company, I’m disappointed they didn’t think it was important to let me know whether or not I got the job, or even respond at all. Perhaps it be a good idea to be more professional and reach out to the candidates for the position and let them know the answer before publicly celebrating the person who landed the job on social media. That’s not a great way to find out and your candidates should not have to reach out to you to find out. I was excited about this and it seemed like such a great fit, but I’m very disappointed with the way this was handled.
