I went through the exact same thing at a big tech company a few weeks ago. Basically told me I got it, ghosted me for weeks, I had to escalate to higher managers, got told a generic “someone was a better match”. Do these companies think about the reputation hit these kinds of things cause? Amazon is the best example - I’m sure half the people on here would never apply to Amazon because their reputation is beyond repair at this point. Some other companies aren’t far behind. They alienate and disrespect people and those are the people that talk and spread the word.
- jugg1es 5y agoFrom what I've read from managers of recruiters from FAANG companies is: 1) Recruiters at these companies are under a large amount of pressure to bring candidates in. 2) There is only so much time in the day 3) They feel all of their time must be spent on potential hires because of #1 and #2 4) No one likes giving bad news I don't feel like any of these reasons excuse you from being a considerate human being. Ultimately, it happens because recruiters are never rewarded for being considerate. People who fail the interview process are treated like legal liabilities.
