⭐ 5 Rounds, Free Consulting, Then… Ghosted 👻 Pros: If you enjoy long interview processes, this is your playground You get to share your ideas… for free Cons: Communication disappears after they get what they need Zero closure after multiple rounds Candidate time = not valued Review: Went through 5 rounds of interviews with Codal. Everything seemed serious, structured, and promising at first. But here’s the twist — after investing hours of discussions, sharing insights, and practically laying out strategic ideas from my 15+ years of experience, the company just… vanished. No update. No feedback. No rejection. Just pure silence. At this point, it honestly feels like candidates should start sending consulting invoices after round 3 😄 Jokes aside, ghosting candidates after such an extensive process is not just unprofessional — it shows a lack of respect for time, effort, and expertise. Especially for senior roles where discussions go beyond Q&A and into actual problem-solving. Advice to Management: Basic communication isn’t that hard. Even a simple “no” is better than disappearing. Respect people’s time — especially when you’re asking for their ideas.
