Interview
Unfair interview process, merely depends on the moron who takes the Interview. No matter how good you may do, if the Interviewer doesn't like you, they reject. No process, no criteria, no panel, it's a one man decision.

Interview
It was a really nice interview process. I got to the third round. I was really disappointed that when I followed up, they told me it would be another week. I waited another 3 before sending another follow up and was ghosted. I thought that was extremely unprofessional. I understood that I might not be right for the position, but was disappointed that a company that seemed so great, refused to just tell me they had moved in a different direction.
