I have been applying for new jobs and been having a god awful time at it. Companies treat prospective employees like trash and I would like to know your opinion on this and maybe share your personal experiences. This is my most recent one.

Applied to a medium sized company : I gave an online test, progressed to the next stage and had an HR interview. After clearing that HR scheduled time for technical interview on Skype. On the day of the interview the guy never showed up and I sat there in front of the screen for half an hour just waiting. HR apologized and rescheduled. I was then scheduled for a final interview 1.5 weeks in advance. This was in a different city than the one I reside in so on the day of the interview I took a day off work, got up at 5:30 am, purchased bus tickets and traveled 4 hours to the destination. I made it clear to them that I was traveling solely for the interview. I got there and received an email that the interview was cancelled on an hours notice. I called them up and was told that no one would be able to see me in the office and basically the best option was for me to go home. Traveled another 4 hours and reached home. They did not offer to reimburse my travel and did not even send any formal apology. I am just astonished at how these people think they can treat others like trash and take their time for granted.
Basically they pull the strings, you dance
You cant do much about it unfortunately
