Agendia Analyst interview questions

I have great respect for this company and their product, but this interview experience was terrible. After applying I was reached out to by the hiring manger detailing the process and providing transparency. In this current job climate thats refreshing to see considering how bleak it is. After talking with the head of HR I was completely ghosted, noting that this intitial call was preliminary and next steps would be sent out. Was the email just their way of soft launching the ghosting? I would have much rather been ghosted straight up than to think this interview would be anything different
