Very nice people that I talked to in person, but they treat you terribly otherwise. Didn’t get back to me for weeks and weeks, even after follow ups and what I thought was an amazing interview. Felt extremely disregarded, because at the end of the day you’re just a number - and they make sure you know that.
The interview and phone screen (essentially 2 rounds of interviews) were casual and easy. But unfortunately, they said they'd get back to me within a few days and ended up ghosting me for a few weeks until they finally let me know I wasn't accepted (about 2-3 weeks after they initially said they would let me know). Even when I emailed them several times following up, they never responded until the automated message came in far after I'd lost hope about the role. Just something to keep in mind if you're applying.
