Centre Technologies interview questions

The first interview was good and I felt comfortable. The second felt worst- they had this metric system for grading knowledge. Something that they never done so it felt unprepared and weird. I feel like asking open ended questions and having maybe like a knowledge test would have better than what happened in the second interview. They were not good at following up through the process. It took two months to interview in total. At the end they never responded with a no or yes. Just ghosted me.

Fairly conversational interview that contained fewer technical questions than normal. They offered me the position at the end. They said HR would be contacting me to begin onboarding. After a few days I followed up to ask about a timeline. I was told, "I'm sorry but we ended up having some changes come up with our budget and we wont be able to move forward at this time. I have saved your information for a future position if that changes. I apologize for the inconvenience." A recruiter later called me about working the same position as a temp. Out of curiosity, I told them to submit me. Nothing. After that, I found and ad for the same job they told me they no longer had the budget for. I feel like the budget issue was that the didn't realize how much the market rate for this position has changed and are trying to find someone they can underpay.
