Interview
I applied on the website and went through the first and second stage. I was ghosted and didn’t receive any feedback whatsoever. I didn’t receive a phone call just an automated email. I think it was very rude to be honestly highly unprofessional

Got a call from a recruiter, then interview with HM and then a panel with team members. It was a smooth and good interview process, everyone was very friendly.
