Terrible interview leaves candidate questioning the entire process

There are a lot of things that could happen during the interview process that might make you lose faith in it. You'll find yourself completing endless applications that you'll never hear back from, getting ghosted after first-round interviews, even completing three rounds of interviews during which the interviewer insists you tell the owner of your current company that you intend to leave, only to ghost you for a month before confirming that they went another candidate; you might even successfully interview for a role only to have a lower salary offered to you than the one that was originally discussed.

There's a lot to be disillusioned about in this slog of an uphill battle; that's what drove this community discussion surrounding the interview process, which was instigated by a thread started by a community member following a disastrous interview. They shared their experience with readers who shared experiences of their own, along with their thoughts and advice. See the best parts of this discussion below, along with the original poster's original account of events.
