Is this common?
March 3rd I interviewed with a corporation (OOT) b/c I am planning to relocate but not until I can find employment. They called me back a week later and requested a second interview, which I again traveled OOT for. He said he would talk to the doctor and call me either that afternoon or the next day. Both interviews were fantastic, or so I thought. I never heard anything back. A week after the second interview, (a Friday) I gave the guy a call to follow up. He was out of the office. So I left info and didnt hear anything back.
Then-- the following week I traveled OOT for another interview that went exceptionally she told me she would be on Vacation for the next 5 days and that she would get in touch with me "mid week" I still haven't heard anything from that and I had a few questions I emailed her about the area/job and she never responded.
Is it common to not give a courtesy "no thank you" call if you hire someone else?

I'm not sure how you applied for the job, but if it was through an applicant tracking system (as opposed to sending your resume to a contact in the company), make sure you are checking your junk / spam folders on a regular basis. These recruiting systems that are created to make the process easier for everyone allow the recruiters / hiring managers to send declines directly through the system. This is really convenient, but often times, these decline emails are sent to junk or spam folders and candidates never know that they've been contacted.
Unfortunately I agree with the others, it is common.
Personally I think it is rude to not follow up with candidates who've gone through multiple interviews. A simple "thanks but no thanks" email takes 2 minutes and is just common courtesy.
Last summer I had 3 interviews with 5 different people for one job and they never followed up with me. I reached out to the HR manager/recruiter to no avail. In my job today, some of my clients this company as a vendor and I have to work with them occassionally, so what comes around goes around!
