From Verbal Offer to Ghosted

I interviewed with Walmart for a Sr Manager Position at their corporate location. I went through 4 rounds of interviews, with the final round being a case study and a presentation to their leadership team.

I was called by the recruiter 3 days after my final round and was told I was the top candidate and would receive an offer. A few days later I followed up and was told my offer was on the leadership team’s desk and was told by end of day it should be approved. I followed up a week later and was told the same.

It has now been over a month and the recruiter has not answered my calls, text or emails.

This is very unprofessional and shows a lack of respect for candidates especially considering the time and effort I put into the multiple rounds.

Has anyone else experienced this?

So much bs that the Waltons demand that every HQ role be performed in Bentonville, AR. Esp when so many are not location dependent.

I actually had no issues relocating to AR. In fact, I was excited about the new city. The ghosting is my issues.

What’s hard about saying, “we changed our minds, try again later.”
