I was contacted by a recruiter. They delivered a long, one-way sales pitch and explained that the product wasn't being used in production and had no clients yet.

Another recruiter/coordinator reached out to schedule interviews. I brought up my concern to the manager about the lack of production users, but they denied it was true and stated the recruiter had incorrect information.

I never heard back from the recruiters and was ghosted. The interview process as a whole was very unprofessional, likely due to poor coordination.

I'm glad I didn't drive out there for that. My advice is to avoid investing time with interviews at this company, as they are disorganized and highly untransparent.

Implement a cache with vague requirements.
