Disorganized and Slow Process That Ends Abruptly
Interviewed for: Director, Development (Northeast Region)
Timeline: May 2 – June 5, 2025
I recently went through the interview process for a Director-level Development role at Prologis. While the company positions itself as highly selective and thoughtful in its hiring process, my experience revealed a disconnect between that intention and the actual execution.
• Initial recruiter call: May 2
• Zoom with hiring manager (VP of Development): May 22 — a cordial, engaging conversation where I was told the process was slow by design, and not to read into any delays.
• Follow-up: I sent a thank-you note and one brief follow-up after a week of silence. I received a vague response saying next steps were being discussed.
• Final outcome: A generic rejection email arrived late at night (around 11 p.m.) on June 5 — with no specific feedback despite what appeared to be a selective process.
Key takeaways:
• The process lasted over five weeks, yet only included two brief interviews.
• Communication felt inconsistent and rushed, with multiple spelling errors in key names and no attention to candidate experience.
• For a firm of Prologis’ size and reputation, I expected more polish, structure, and respect for candidates’ time and effort.
Advice to candidates:
Don’t assume silence means you’re still in the running. Prologis appears to deliberate slowly, but that doesn’t translate into a better or more transparent candidate experience. The process may end abruptly, even late at night, without clear feedback — so temper expectations accordingly.
Advice to Prologis:
If you claim to be methodical and deliberate, align your candidate communications accordingly. Avoid rushed emails with typos, provide timely updates, and offer constructive feedback — especially to senior-level candidates who are committing time and energy to your process.
