First met with the CMO, then the owners on a separate occasion. Everyone was very nice. However, what made it an entirely disappointing experience was that, after I was promised a follow-up either way within one week, I never heard from them again. I could understand this is if it were an entry-level position, but this type of disregard for professionalism, respect, and common courtesy is inexcusable at the director level. Well-qualified candidates in the mid-career stage of their professional life deserve follow-up communication to let them know that the company has decided to pursue another direction. Seems basic.
