**Title: Disappointing Candidate Experience Despite Multiple Rounds**
I recently went through the interview process with SAP and wanted to share my experience in a constructive way.
The interview process itself was quite extensive, involving around five rounds: an HR discussion, technical interviews, a coding challenge, and a manager round. Overall, the interactions during the interviews were professional, and I felt the discussions went well.
However, the post-interview experience was disappointing. I was informed that I would receive feedback within two weeks, but there was no communication even after three to four weeks. During this time, I sent multiple polite follow-up emails, mainly requesting feedback so I could improve for future opportunities. Unfortunately, I did not receive any response.
After more than a month, I finally received a generic rejection email without any specific feedback.
I understand that hiring processes can be complex and time-consuming, especially in large organizations. However, timely communication and basic feedback—especially after multiple rounds—would greatly improve the candidate experience. Candidates invest a significant amount of time and effort preparing for and attending these interviews, and a lack of response can be quite frustrating.
I hope this feedback helps improve the communication process for future candidates.
**Pros:**
* Structured interview process
* Professional interviewers
**Cons:**
* Lack of timely communication
* No feedback provided after multiple rounds
* Delayed response beyond communicated timeline
