The interview process lacked structure, which allowed for subjective rather than objective decision-making and left room for personal bias. I progressed through to the final interview stage, and the recruiter was initially very responsive and communicative. However, after I was not selected, I was informed only via an automated message from their applicant tracking system. Despite following up, I received no response. This was particularly disappointing given that, following the final interview, the recruiter had shared benefits information and revisited salary expectations—suggesting continued engagement.
