EDIT: *flew
I live in San Jose, CA and I applied for a job in Denver, CO for a senior level position. They seemed excited about my background and after a call with the recruiter and hiring manager they wanted to fly me out ASAP for a panel interview at their office. They dropped close to $2k on my last minute flights, hotel and generous per diem. They even flew me business class.
After the Friday interview (which I thought went really well), they said they would get back to me mid to late week the following week. I sent them an email that evening thanking them for their time and that I looked forward to hearing back from them. By end of day the next Friday I did not get a response. That Monday I sent an email to the recruiter to follow up and see where they were in the decision process and if they needed any additional information from me. No response. It will be 2 weeks of radio silence tomorrow. Has this ever happened to anyone? Is this normal? Is this a major red flag if they do eventually get in touch with me and offer me the job? I just find it strange how eager they were to fly me out, contacting me everyday for week to arrange calls and trip details, seemingly nailing the interview and then nothing for 2 weeks despite me reaching out to follow up.
EDIT 2: I’m not offended/mad/butthurt. Just never experienced this before in my years of going through hiring processes so I’m asking for other people’s experiences. My current job is with a large tech company and it took almost 2 months for my offer but my recruiter was responsive and set expectations. Please don’t be mad at me, guys. I didn’t mean to upset you.
