I went through an interview process for a BDR role in Barcelona and it was one of the most chaotic and unprofessional experiences I’ve had. The process was very slow and poorly coordinated. I was asked to prepare a prospecting exercise and a full presentation, but when I joined the interview with the manager, he had never heard about this exercise. They are clearly not aligned internally. After investing significant time preparing and completing the interviews, communication completely stopped. Despite follow-ups, I was eventually ghosted with no final feedback or decision.

Had a phone screening with the TA which was very positive. I was then scheduled for 3 back-to-back meetings in their office which I took time off work for (#1 with the hiring manager, #2 with two current BDR's, and #3 with the sales director). In the 1st meeting I was told that the director may or may not be able to make it and that they would reschedule. I have the 1st and 2nd meetings, and then the hiring manager comes back to walk me out the door and tells me that they will reschedule the meeting, and asks me about my availability for when I can start. I don't hear anything for two days, I check Workday and it shows I've been rejected. I message the TA and another person on their team, and I receive "automatic" emails that they are out of the office. The email from the TA said they would be OOO until September 16, it was well past September 16. They couldn't even give me the courtesy of an automated rejection email.
