I completed five rounds of interviews in four business days, including a same-day technical assessment that received explicitly positive feedback. I invested significant time, energy, and emotional commitment into this process. After all of that, complete silence. Their own candidate guide promises responses within three business days - a commitment they broke. A follow-up email went ignored. The rejection eventually came via a text-to-phone-call, citing a sudden need for a "TraceGains expert" - despite that expertise being clearly documented and demonstrated throughout. This requirement mysteriously appeared only AFTER five rounds and a completed assessment, after the role had been open for a month and a half with no such emphasis. The job was simultaneously retitled and reposted while I was left waiting. Companies often underestimate the mental and emotional toll this kind of treatment has on candidates. This process was genuinely damaging. The gap between TFD's marketing of their "best-in-class candidate experience" and reality is significant. Candidates from underrepresented groups should proceed with extreme caution.
