The interview consisted of:
- 2 phone screens
- A 3 hour in person with various App Annie employees
One of my phone screens was with my would be supervisor in the role. I left the conversation not very impressed with the call. When I got the invitation to go in for an in person, I figured, hey, I may as well double check my gut instinct in person as he would be one of the people I would be meeting with in person.
I was in the office for almost 3 hours and really enjoyed 2 of the 4 conversations. The conversation with the would be boss confirmed my initial feeling: was not going to be a match. Fine - this happens, not a big deal, move on.
My problem here is that I spent a good deal of time speaking with this company, including coming on site. Not a word from the company following the interviews - complete silence. This is an unacceptable recruiting practice. It is rude, disrespectful, and just bad business. Candidates are stakeholders in any organization, and mistreating them is bad for business. Being an HR professional myself, I know there is no excuse for this - not a single one, ever.
