Very arbitrary hiring process.

First time I applied, I got an email from a technical recruiter asking to schedule a phone screen. The recruiter seemed impressed and ended the call on a positive note, telling me to expect a response 'soon'.

There was radio silence for three weeks, and then I got a response (only after two email prompts from my side) saying the position had been filled by a more qualified candidate (I understand this). The recruiter encouraged me to be on the lookout for more positions since they are expanding.

A month later, I applied to a new position with the same title and then experienced radio silence for two months, until I finally received an auto-generated rejection email. The worst part? They sent me detailed interview feedback surveys twice!

I'm confounded by how such a company with reputable software products has such a shoddy hiring process.
