Technical Lead Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington

Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
A recruiter called and expressed a lot of interest. We set up an appointment for the manager to call me, and I never heard from him.
I tried to follow up with both him and the recruiter. The recruiter didn't seem to know how to get in touch with him, and he would not return a call or email.
Altogether, this experience was highly unprofessional and a waste of my time.
