I applied online and heard back about a month later and set up a phone interview. The interview was about 30 minutes where they read off a series of questions relative to the role and company. I followed up the next week because they did not give me any indication over the phone as to what the next steps were in the process. I received a generic response that they would "reach out within the coming weeks if we find that you are a fit." Several weeks went by and I heard nothing. I reached out again and received no response. I think if someone is taking the time to apply to a position and have interviewed for that position, it is respectable for a company to reach out even to decline the applicant. To leave that person in the dark is unprofessional and discouraging.
