A while back I did multiple interviews and completed a coding project with your company and was "ghosted." A buddy of mine just had a similar experience via a "HackerNews Who's Hiring" post, they had multiple interviews with you and were assigned a coding project and then you responded with a terse canned rejection email. Definitely not a good experience and seemed disrespectful of others time.

  Darn. I was really interested in this company and their work.

  Hi Bogomipz, First of all, I'm really sorry you had a bad candidate experience when interviewing for Private Internet Access in the past. Although I wasn't involved in your hiring at the time, I'd love for you to reach out to us at recruiting@londontrustmedia.com and provide any feedback about ways in which we could improve our candidate experience. Of course we shouldn't be "ghosting" any candidates and won't do it again but I'd be happy to hear any other ways in which you think our candidate experience has been disrespectful. About your friend, it's hard for me to tell which candidate it is from this conversation, but if it's recent than it's likely that I was (or should have) been involved. If you can please tell him to contact me with his feedback, I'll be sure to address it the best way I can and ensure it doesn't happen to other candidates in the future.

  Not related to this org. > seemed disrespectful of others time I had similar experience with unknown startup, after spending few hours on task, the founder didn't even bother to respond. After that I decided not to take-up interviews which has similar requirement (ex: ask to finish small task).

    Sure, if you do elect to do them, I think the best thing you can do is share you experience and help someone else avoid having their time wasted by companies that act like this. I think it can be seen as a telling sign about the company itself.
