The interview itself was okay, even though I was not shortlisted. However, the overall experience was really bad.
I reached the company 15 minutes earlier than the scheduled interview time, but no one attended to me. I was asked to wait at the security area for more than 30 minutes. Eventually, the recruiter texted me to inform me that the hiring manager was on medical leave.
They wanted to reschedule the interview first , but instead, another manager came down and conducted the interview after a total wait of 2 hours. I was really disappointed with the way the candidate experience was handled.
I followed up with the recruiter for an update, but there was no apology and they did not respond to my follow‑up message.
