Initially, the recruiter called the wrong number and even attempted to cancel my interview, which made me feel undervalued as a candidate. Despite feeling that I answered all the questions well, I was ghosted afterward—no feedback or communications. The entire process felt procedural, not like a genuine search for talent. Frankly, this is not the first time the same company has ghosted me. Sad, I love the company, but the whole process has been a disappointment.

Had a 30 minutes phone screening with the recruiter, who was kind and helpful, as well as transparent about the company and the role. She showed curiosity about my previous experience and skills. It was a good conversation.
