Please respect the rules at the top of the thread. I realize that not every company treats applicants as well as they should, but it's also the case that not every horror story is fair, and we are in no position to adjudicate the difference.

(I am not commenting on your particular story, and have no reason to doubt what you're saying. It's just a rule that we try to stick to in general.)
