Cons
I was scheduled for a final interview and showed up on time, prepared, and eager to make a good impression. I waited in the designated Zoom meeting room via the Gmail invite, but no one ever showed up. I waited patiently, thinking maybe they were just running late — but after waiting far longer than expected, it became clear that no one was coming.
I didn’t receive any notice, reschedule, or explanation. No email. No message. Nothing.
This experience was incredibly frustrating. I took the interview seriously, prepared thoroughly, and arranged my day around it. To not even receive the courtesy of a cancellation or follow-up felt extremely unprofessional and disrespectful of my time.
I understand things happen — people get busy, emergencies come up — but basic communication should never be optional, especially when someone is trusting your company enough to show up and give their time and effort.
This left a very negative impression and made me question how candidates — and potentially even employees — are treated. I expected better.
