Unprofessional, disrespectful, disorganized. APPLICANT BEWARE.
The initial interview was offered within an hour of submitting the application, and was held over the phone, and screened for teaching styles and experiences. I was informed the decision for a second interview would be based upon a technical test with an allotted time of a week. This test was to solve a simple JavaScript problem, and create a personal website. In total, the test probably took around 5 hours of work. Again, within an hour I was offered a second hour long interview over Google Hangouts. Thus far, the process had gone smoothly and I had no complaints.
Come time for the second interview, which was scheduled a few days after submitting the test, I was left waiting in the Google Hangout for over the hour of which it was scheduled. During this time, I sent two separate messages to both the hiring corespondent and the interviewer asking politely if they had forgotten our interview, or if I had made a mistake, to which I didn't receive a response for another hour after the "interview" ended. They said they were the ones who made a mistake, and wondered if I would like to reschedule the interview, and I said that I would. I asked for their scheduling calendar, and I didn't hear back for another full week. The response I got was a canned "Thank you for applying, but we've moved on" response.
I'm not upset, about not getting hired or offered a position, other plans have worked out. What does concern me is the utter lack of respect given to the applicant. I spent hours on a project, then another hour waiting in a suit in front of a camera, only to get stood up and then ignored. I understand the difficulty that must come with running a nonprofit, but forgetting about an interview, sending a half sincere apology, offering to schedule another interview, and then ignoring said rescheduling attempts is unbelievably unprofessional. I've had better correspondence with fast food companies.
