HR was very nice and easy to work with initially, however they ghosted me after one round :( I reached out to them but no response. I feel like they should have at least formally rejected me with an email.
Interview process was extremely drawn out, spanning 3+ months, only for the recruiter to ghost me after the final round. Communication could be vastly improved, especially when the candidate has invested significant hours in the process.
