In the beginning, it seemed like the interview process was great. Things moved quickly, there was open communication, and everyone was really friendly. The first round was recording yourself answering questions, which I thought was weird, but it took away some of the anxiety of an interview, and I did well. A few days later, I got an email from the recruiter that they would be scheduling an interview with herself and the hiring manager. That interview also went really well, and the recruiter called me the next day to tell me I had made it to the final interview that would include a project. I was so excited. I worked really hard on the project, I mean hours, putting together a very long 3-part presentation. I am really confident that I did a great job on it, and I also felt good about the way I presented it during the final interview, which included a few other higher up team members. A couple hours after the final interview, the recruiter emailed me saying that the team would like me to have a "casual meet and greet" with the 2 other CRM Specialists on the team. I saw this as a great sign, since it was not even part of the formal interview process, and I had the conversation the next day. I felt it went well. The company then had a long weekend, and early the next week I received a poorly worded, generic rejection email, similar to one you'd receive after having gone through just one interview. It felt like a slap in the face after all the time and effort that I put into the interview process (4 steps and a project), especially when I asked the recruiter for feedback and she didn't even reply. I was disappointed because I really wanted the job and felt like I was a good fit, but I was mostly disappointed that a company I have always loved has employees that wouldn't even take the time to explain why they rejected me after taking hours of my time. The best part is they reposted the job on LinkedIn right after. It's really strange and I still think about what possibly went wrong. In the end, I don't think I would fit in there culturally anyway if this is how they handle things.
