1. 45-minute call with HM

They ghosted after the first round. HM said I was a strong fit for the role and they would follow-up, but they never reached out and ignored multiple emails.
No response after initial interview. The screening process was fine but their interview process consists of a full day onsite, would not invest the time in it if the hiring managers cannot even notify you when you don’t make it through
