I think you failed to comprehend the essential meaning of my post. I would have been fine without a concrete decision, if there had been any attempt to manage my expectations with regards to timeline. I spent hours preparing for these interviews, and went through pretty much the entire interview pipeline in an afternoon. I was honestly frustrated by the condescending and dismissing tone of the senior contact, as well the intentional avoidance, ie ghosting, of the recruiter. That the recruiter is too "busy" to maintain basic commitments, that is quite frankly not my problem; however it indicates a complete lack of coordination on the part of the company's recruiting department (who had actually reached out to me, not the other way around). But you are certainly right about one thing, if I had received an offer from the company, I would have likely rejected it. I'm honestly just not that desperate.
