Process
The manager contacted me directly.
I set up a technical interview. The interviewer was a no-show.
I rescheduled the technical interview.
The technical interview was a phone call with live coding. I reached the third level of difficulty for the problem. I almost solved it, but I had a bug. I received an email rejection from the recruiter the same day.
Something is off with these guys.
