I know there’s nothing illegal about this, but this is a lot of time to waste on an interview process for everyone involved. They had me do a 4 hour initial marathon interview with the people in my prospective department and asked me to interview the same people 2 months later. The position I applied for paid substantially more than the position I was told I would be a candidate for at the end of the 2nd interview. I inquired about my status in the subsequent months and there was no response. The screen of the head of the department was briefly shared by accident during my last interview with an email that read “this person would be a good fit for X position”.
What gives? Why is it okay to take so much of anybody’s time without compensating them? I have to donate my capacity to do labor in order to be able to sell it. Cool system.
