Got contacted by recruiter and scheduled a screening call, recruiter was late and the conversation felt really rushed however she was helpful explaining the role and interview process they follow where after the interview with the hiring manager I would have a take home exercise.
She said that would send me an interview with the hiring manager but then the system didn't had any slots, eventually slots were available 3 weeks later, finally on the scheduled slot the hiring manager didn't show up for the interview.
After a few hours they sent an apology about a scheduling conflict. As I felt the company was a bit chaotic decided to stop pursuing the position.

From the interaction with the recruiter, it felt CF was not interested moving forward as their priorities changed. There was radio silence for extended periods.

Interview
The interview process consisted of several steps. It started with an informal conversation with the hiring manager, followed by a meeting with the lead recruiter to discuss the role and salary expectations. After that, there was a technical interview, then a panel interview where I demo'd one of their products. The final stages included a conversation with a director and then a meeting with someone from the C-suite.

Applied with a referral. I was ghosted after recruiter stage. Recruiters can take 1 second to reject and auto-send the email. I wouldn't mind if it wasnt with a referral but they should have at least some decency for their own colleagues.
