My experience with the interview process started off promising, with HR initially being responsive and helpful. It began with a screening, followed by a brief knowledge test, and then two interviews with PMs. However, it quickly became apparent that one of the PMs had already made up her mind—her lack of enthusiasm and professionalism made it feel like the interview was just a formality. In contrast, the second PM was engaged and respectful, which I appreciated.
What was most disappointing, though, was the way HR handled the process afterward. There was no closure—no follow-up, no rejection email, just complete silence. It left a really negative impression. I understand that hiring is competitive and not everyone gets the role, but ghosting candidates after putting in time and effort is both unprofessional and discouraging.
