So I applied for a Cloud Architect position. The process was very intensive. Roughly 6 interviews, 2 practical assignments and a written exam. In total it took me 3 weeks to go through the screening process. I aced everything, and was told they were going to send me an offer. I received an email on the 21st of April asking me if I was still interested. I replied back immediately saying I was most def interested. The next morning I get an email back from the hiring manager, who happened to CC the client as well, saying I took too long to reply to the offer, and the job was filled. I was perplexed as to how I took too long to reply. I went through the email chain that the client also received, and saw the hiring manager changed the email headers in the reply chain from the 21st of April, to the 12th of April. So it made out that I did indeed take too long and the client went with someone else! WTF! Very unprofessional, but very little I could do.. I wasted a lot of time and energy and heartache with this!

    you have no idea how bad it was. and the attitude I received as well. imagine I actually got the job offer, resigned from my current work, then on day one of starting get told "sorry, you took too long to get into work the job is someone elses".. kinda a blessing I guess. if they did it once it would happen agai

    Seeing a number of posts like this, sometimes I can't help but think what if we just compile a list of companies that do that stupid shit and publish it where everyone can see really. I am just worried of the legal ramifications of that, but I'm sure there's a loophole somewhere ... this shit needs to stop
