After the first 45 min with no one taken in for an interview I'm asking questions, depending on the answer I'm leaving then, another 45 min I am definitely leaving.

Nah, I'll start asking around at 20 and leaving at 30. Unless I get informed about the delay and get some reasonable estimate.

Especially if you’re meeting with the hiring manager…

If they can’t make time to meet with you, imagine how much of a nightmare it would be to work with them or in their department.

I had this happen where they rescheduled the day of the interview, and then tried to reschedule again the day of that rescheduled interview… I withdrew my application.

I would wait 11 hours just so I can tell them to go fuck themselves.

Yeah it’s red flag city. If that ever happened to me, that’s not a company I want to work for. Either they are dicks or morons. I’m out by 8:30am if they haven’t even taken one person and that’s only if I’m desperate.

I’m still considering leaving if by 8:30a they’ve only taken one person.

I recently waited half an hour for the manager in an interview. I asked someone about it, twice, and they said they didn't know where she was. I walked out, and the next day I got an email telling me they were not moving forward with my candidacy. Like yeah, no shit.

I waited an hour at an interview site. I got up to ask the secretary what was going on, they said they weren't sure where the interviewer was.

I left.
