Simple rejection email after multiple rounds of interviews
I had 3 different rounds of interviews at Tiktok for a position located in London. I just received today a very generic rejection email with no details on what aspects went wrong and what I can improve. It was my first time interviewing for a big tech company and wondering if this is the new norm? When I had interviews 3 years ago for multiple smaller companies, I always had a clear feedback on my performance.
This is very sad, but it’s the new reality. I have been interviewing with lots of companies lately and the exact thing happened to me at least 3 times. My interview was perfect and then all of a sudden I was given some lame reason. In some cases, the recruiter won’t even pick up my calls.
Lol new reality? It's always been the reality. You need to chase for feedback and even then you still probably won't get any.
Got ghost + auto rejection a month later after 7 rounds at Cruise, so yea it’s normal.
So I hire folks as part of my role, they go through several rounds including a take-home technical and on-site final. It’s not terribly lengthy, but start to finish probably 5-6 hours excluding any prep folks do. I enjoy giving feedback, but I am barred from being descriptive in writing. I have limited time and am under resourced hence not offering time to explain inherently, but if candidates were close to meeting the bar, I will offer it if asked. It is not my choice that I can only send an email template. Most Hms I know send NOTHING and ghost candidates. Terrible!
It’s much better than a useless cringe phone call especially if you interview for a position in google. Call is having nothing to do with your improvement, debrief, what went wrong but a very sweet ‘you can’t apply for 1 year’
Atleast you received rejection, microsoft doesn't even send a rejection email 😂
Exactly. Microsoft does not even inform and you play the guessing game.
