I had a really bad interview experience. I was told by the recruiter that they were looking for someone to come in and revamp their entire training department. When I got there, I was told the job description was changed. The interview was really rushed with the Dept Manager, and we ran out of time. When I met with the HR person, I told her the job description title and tasks had changed, and she was really surprised. She told me the Dept Manager called and said good things about me. We also ran out of time, and she said she wanted me to come back so we could finish, and so I could meet the Division Manager. I then found out from the recruiter today that they decided not to move forward. I was really stunned. I didn't feel like I even had the chance to have a complete interview. Is it ever appropriate to give feedback to the company?

This speaks to the reasons why their training department is in bad shape. They are not sure of what they want, and in the process mishandle the affairs. You need not regret your selection; better opportunities are awaiting you.

Hello Dear,
It's a common Responsibility Assignment error that caused such confusion and ended up as a bad experience for you. You must consider yourself lucky enough not to have been tagged in such a confused system. Mr. Saikumar in the above post rightly said that you have the entire sky to fly; don't get upset and try for another one. But yes, you need to tell the recruiter about this through an honest feedback, after which they may correct themselves if they feel the need to do better in the future by avoiding such haphazardness in one of the most important tasks such as recruitment.

Hello,
I too am with B. Saikumar -- everything that happens will be for our good. Consider yourself lucky that you didn't end up in such an environment and repent later.
Coming to whether you should give this feedback to the company/recruiter, I am not so sure. 'Unsolicited advice' is often mistaken -- the recruiter may think that you are giving such feedback since they said NO to you.
There are two terms in Sanskrit -- 'paatra daan' and 'apaatra daan' -- meaning 'deserving' and 'undeserving'. The 'daan' (alms/aid/help) can be monetary or knowledge or anything else. Please use your discretion to decide.
All the Best.
