Disappointing Lack of Communication After a Standard Interview Process
I interviewed for a position with the San Jose Earthquakes and went through a fairly standard interview process: a first-round, second-round, and final-round interview. The interviews were professional, and the process seemed organized up until the end.
After the final round, I was told I would receive a decision by the end of the week. However, two weeks went by, and I heard nothing. I followed up with an email, and unfortunately, still received no response.
While I completely understand that companies may decide to go in a different direction, being ghosted after three rounds of interviews was both disappointing and unprofessional. Clear communication would have been appreciated, especially after investing so much time in the process.

first phone interview, then panel interview where it was 4v4, never had experience where interviewing with others. Was really nervous for it since it was new and I asked friends and family if they had done this style and its not common.
