Software Development Engineer (SDE) Interview Experience

Process

I applied and got an email from someone whom I don't think is an actual Google recruiter. They sent an assessment link. Once completed and even passed, they said they would update a Google recruiter and then came back by saying I was not selected. I feel the whole process was something not right.
