I applied online. I interviewed at Cayuse in Apr 2020
Interview
Applied online. Recruiter got back to me within a few days and said my first interview was with the "hiring manager" which was a 3rd party individual who knew nothing about the company, role, or expectations of the role when I asked questions. Said he "reported directly to the CEO" when I expressed confusion over what exactly his role was. Next interview was with VP of sales who was nice yet no nonsense. The NEXT interview (3pm-6pm) was a panel interview with the recently hired sales manager, VP of sales again, and an operations manager. I had a vague outline to present a powerpoint on the Grants industry to the sales manager and VP. I was told the internals were to discuss and have a decision in 3 to 5 days.... and that was the last I heard from anybody from that company. If I sucked during the interview, thats fine. A simple, generic email of "we have decided to go with another individual" would have sufficed. No feedback is worse than negative feedback. Shows the level of professionalism and how they probably treat their customers. Dodged a bullet.

I sent follow up email, two calls to recruiter, last interviewer. No response.
