I got through 2 rounds of interviews, one being a phone screen and the other being technical. The technical interview was initially scheduled for a week after the initial phone call but was rescheduled for two weeks afterward due to unforeseen circumstances. I thought it wasn't a big deal; things happen. When interview day came, I joined a Microsoft Teams meeting and sat there for roughly 30 minutes without anyone joining before leaving. I sent a follow-up email to the recruiter asking why I sat in a meeting nobody attended. Near the end of the day, I got a response stating that the interviewer had something come up, so they couldn't attend. That left a sour taste in my mouth, but I continued rescheduling again against my better judgment. Once the day finally came, I was greeted by two seemingly friendly people, one engineer and the hiring manager. From there, I was tasked with doing three problems, each in different coding languages, and was told I couldn't look anything up. Both interviewers were distracted and didn't care very much about what I was doing. For reference, these weren't leetcode-style problems; one was solving a particular whiteboard-style problem. A couple of times, I needed help with specific syntax that could be found in a simple Google search. I was blankly stared at. After the meeting concluded, I sent two follow-up emails, but I didn't get a response. I was completely ghosted. Overall, it was a pretty terrible experience, and I'm glad I was spared.

After completing two rounds of interviews, including a technical interview with an HR representative followed by a Teams interview with two hiring developers, the HR team has not provided any further communication, which led to a lack of closure in the process.
