Extended Stay America Business Development Manager interview questions

The interview process started with a recruiter reaching out to me in LinkedIn. Then there was a phone interview with Manager 1. That seemed to go really well, so I was invited in to interview two with Manager 1. Next they asked me to take the Caliper test. Then, I was invited back to meet with Manager 2 and Manager 3. During this time I was advised that the dress code was not business casual, but business. So I went to buy new clothes for each interview. Then after my second interview, I was asked to put together a 30-60-90 plan. No problem, I just did it over the 4 th of July weekend while at the beach with my family, instead of relaxing. At the end of this one month saga, I talked with my recruiter for an update. He told me, the 3 managers couldn't agree on whether the new hire should be from the hotel industry or from outside the hotel industry. So they shelved hiring for the job. So, I sent all three a follow up e-mail, which went completely unanswered. So the moral of the story is, do not waste your energy applying here. I don't think anyone there, has real respect for the time off work, money spent, and effort required to put together their requested business plan. I'm not bitter about not getting the position, as it would appear these folks are not very nice or basically decent to work with. I am super irritated with their lack of respectful communication after wasting so much of my time.
