Uptake Operations Manager interview questions

If you are applying for a position at Uptake, hopefully you have 4-6 months to dedicate to the process. Unfortunately, this was by far the worst recruiting experience I have had in my life. I applied for the position online and heard back from a recruiter about six weeks later about setting up a phone screening. I then went on to both email and call the recruiter every day for about 2 weeks before finally hearing back. We set up a phone screening and he blew off the call. Queue two more weeks of emails and calls to get another screening scheduled. He then said he would like to set me up with the hiring manager. Queue almost another month of daily emailing and calling before getting something scheduled. After the call with the hiring manager, I spent weeks following up to set up the next steps. I finally received a brief and passive email from the recruiter saying they hired an internal referral. Four months spent getting through two rounds of interviews, only to be passively rejected, despite constant positive feedback throughout the process.
