I recently went through a somewhat frustrating experience while applying for a job at a nonprofit organization that focuses on community service. I had two rounds of interviews lined up: the first with HR and the second with my potential direct report and the COO. Unfortunately, during the first interview, I was stood up. I waited for about 20 minutes on the call, but no one showed up. My recruiter was puzzled as well and mentioned that the company was overwhelmed with interviews, suggesting it might have been a scheduling error. This really put me off, but thankfully, my recruiter managed to reschedule the interview for me. Despite the rocky start, I was genuinely excited about the position because of the great perks and the mission of the organization. I had my second interview, which went wonderfully, and to my surprise, I was extended an offer that I accepted. Interestingly, no one ever brought up the fact that I was stood up for the initial interview. However, I started to feel uneasy when I learned that a colleague of mine also interviewed at the same company. Just 20 minutes before her HR interview, they pushed it back by 15 minutes, and we feared she might get stood up too. Thankfully, her interview went well, but during her second interview, she was also stood up. This pattern has left me feeling hesitant about my decision to accept the job, especially since I haven’t yet turned in my notice at my current job. I’m still waiting for clearance from the new organization before making that leap. Has anyone else experienced similar situations and can share insights about the work environment at companies that have these kinds of scheduling issues?
