AVOID AGODA AT ALL COSTS. First they only had interview times 7pm to 3am, none during working hours. Then come interview time, I wait 3+ minutes in no one shows up and then I get an automatic email saying the interview has been canceled. I also then get an auto email saying they moved on but the recruiter emails a few minutes later saying they are trying to reschedule. A waste of my time and money preparing, putting on makeup, outfit and contacts, and skipping dinner.

Did you consider that a company with an HQ on the other side of the world (12 hours ahead of New York) has interview times during its working hours instead of yours? If you've ever conducted job interviews, it'd be an insane ask to make your employees interview prospects at 3am - 7am/pm is a reasonable compromise for everyone. (I don't know enough about the company to defend it, so I could be totally wrong here, but am I??)

I feel you on canceling the interview, standing you up, and disorganized HR confusion like that though, I've been there many times and it sucks.

I wish they had interviewers with closer local times, but I would be able to make some evening times work. But I mostly posted because of the ghosting and wasting my time when they could have canceled before the interview instead of being silent.

On the flip side, I don't want to miss the window on the second position while waiting to hear back...thoughts?

So I had an interview with a company (3 rounds actually) which went pretty well. I even rearranged my schedule for last minute interviews because it’s the job that I really want. My recruiter said that they all love me & even wanted me to speak to the CEO. Then they needed a few days to speak with another candidate. After a few days, I was told that they needed another day because the other candidate couldn’t interview with the department lead. I’m really worried now. How should I take this?
