Application

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at WhatsApp

Interview

Received a boilerplate message via LinkedIn from the Whatsapp recruiter (I am not allowed to share her/his name). I said that I am interested, but all of my messages were ignored (even after months). That's very unprofessional behavior for on-site recruiter.
