Process
I applied through a recruiter.
I had one interview with the recruiter and then another with the hiring manager. After this, I never heard back from them. After a couple of months, another recruiter reached out to me over LinkedIn to ask me again if I would be interested in applying for a position in the company. Apparently, they had no processes back then, but it was still quite unprofessional.
