Interview
I had an interview with two guys it was actually a pretty good interview. Very friendly, they asked a set of open ended questions pertaining to my experience. Afterwards I got to ask my questions then I was told I get the next steps in about a week.
Three weeks later and I’ve heard nothing from them. I think it’s pretty rude to just blatantly disregard someone applying for a position. Even a generic rejection email would be better than just have someone waiting and continuously looking out for a reply that’s never coming. Which is why even though the actual interview and interviewers were good the process as a whole gets a negative from me.
