"I was approached directly by the Talent Acquisition department at Dynatrace. They wanted someone in Austria and asked if I would relocate. I said no to relocation but was happy to travel regularly. This was given the green light by Dynatrace leadership before any further conversations took place, and I was told it wouldn't be an issue. The process from here was as follows: - Introductory call with Talent Acquisition (Hiring Manager) - Interview with a Director (Peer) - Panel interview with 3 software leaders (Stakeholders) - Interview with the CPO (Leadership) - Debrief. Overall, the interview process through each stage was good, and I felt everyone was respectful of my time and gave honest answers to my questions. Now this is where things got strange. In my final debrief conversation, they mentioned a leadership meeting taking place in Austria that was being attended by some of the decision makers, I was told they would like to wrap up the process, even saying "you are the preferred candidate". They requested my salary expectations and two references, which I provided, and explained they would be in touch in a week. It went quiet for a few weeks. I then received an email saying that put things on hold for a couple of weeks over the Christmas period as the company closes during this time. We'll catch up in January! I got back in touch in January and received no reply. I got back in touch in February and received no reply. I reached out via other methods and received no reply. Additionally, I saw that throughout this time, they had reposted the job posting several times in various places. I was completely ignored. How unprofessional? I can understand if the team opted to take a different approach; that's totally OK, but it is utterly unethical to be disregarded and given no feedback or reply at all when the last time you spoke, the indication was they were about to draft an offer."
