This was honestly one of the most frustrating interview processes I’ve ever gone through. I was first contacted by a recruiter who said my profile was shortlisted and scheduled a virtual interview for 5 PM. A few hours before, they postponed it to the next day. Next day, I joined the call on time—waited 10 minutes, but no one showed up. Then the recruiter informed me it’s rescheduled again. Cool. Two days later, the virtual round finally happened. It was a basic intro to the company and the role. After that, they gave me a two-part assignment (Google Analytics + Excel), which took me about 4–5 hours to complete. After 2 days, I was told they liked my assignment and called me for an in-office technical round. Two people interviewed me for 45 minutes. Then two days later, I was told there’s a final round with the CEO. Final round was done. Finally after 2 days, the recruiter called and said I was selected and HR would explain the offer. HR called, discussed the salary and benefits. I accepted the offer on the phone, and he said he’d proceed with formalities and send the offer letter on mail. Then… radio silence. I followed up the next day. The recruiter said it would come soon. Two more days passed—still nothing. Finally, the recruiter told me the company is not giving me offer on mail. I then called the Company HR. HR told me they paused the role due to “appraisal time.” No email. No call. Not even the courtesy to inform me directly. This entire process dragged on for 2 weeks. Complete lack of communication, repeated delays, and in the end, no offer letter after confirmation. Wasted so much time and energy. Disappointing and unprofessional.
