The company has what feels like nearly ten stages in their interview process. I have already completed five, and was unsuccessful at the fifth. Despite that, I was informed there would still be a sixth and seventh stage for ‘due diligence’.
I have already met with HR twice, presented to the team, and had a conversation with the Director. This all began back in March and we are now in May, yet they are still adding more stages.
To put it in perspective:
1st stage – interview with the HR Director
2nd stage – hiring manager
3rd stage – meet the team
4th stage – second meeting with HR Director
5th stage – presentation and interview with the team
I am completely exhausted. I was genuinely excited about the role at first, but this process has become draining and excessive. At this point, I no longer feel motivated or valued.
It is disappointing, because I initially saw this as a great opportunity. However, I’ve now reached a point where I will be withdrawing my application. The level of overprocessing has become unprofessional, especially considering this is not the White House.
