The interview process at the beginning was quite smooth: - HR interview - Technical interview - Take-home assignment However, after the take-home assignment, they sent a couple of emails saying they would get back to me, but they never did and eventually stopped responding altogether. This is a major red flag, as it raises concerns about how they treat contractors or employees internally if they are willing to ghost candidates who reached the final stage of the process (and were even asked for referrals). To be honest, it is the first time I have seen that.
