How many have ever refused an interview or an offer strictly due to a bad prior experience with a recruiter or representative of the company?

I have for sure. Won't ever talk to PwC again. Not even a joke. Had a horrible experience with round 1, still got an offer but faded the entire thing for another firm *cue the rage* lol.

Yes! I got pinged by a Capgemini recruiter on LinkedIn about 4 months back. Wasn't interested at all since I'm not a fan of their operating model but figured I'd bite to see what I could negotiate.

Recruiter setup initial phone call with a manager. Manager calls me 2 hours late after our agreed time. Doesn't mention being late and proceeds to ask about me and my experience. Call goes great and says recruiter will reach out within a week to schedule onsite interview. I never hear a word from them, despite reaching out a week later on update. About 2 months later I get an email from the recruiter if I am still interested. I simply reply "No thank you." and promptly remove all Capgemini recruiters/managers from my LinkedIn.

Yep. Protiviti reached out to me a few years ago and the experience was so bad that I won't consider them ever again.

Sure have. Especially a smaller shop. If they can't get culture right when trying to attract me, how bad will it be once I'm there.

Yes. Oliver Wyman and Roland Berger.

Yes

Yes, Bain

Blacklisted EY for awhile for exactly this reason. Another job in industry the recruiter couldn't get it together.

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem. The interview ended up scheduled for 3:30-4:15, and I'm supposed to be on a 5pm flight out of LGA. Is there a reliably quiet place at LGA to do the interview (I don't have lounge access)? Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.
