I applied online and the recruiter reached out and said we are going to the next after speaking to me. After that, I've been chasing the recruiter as well as the hiring manager for over 2 weeks and nothing. no response and completely ghosted me out of the blue. One of the worst experiences ever. If this is how the company behaves, you can imagine what it is like working there.
