Process

Applied online via company website and received an email to schedule a 30-minute phone call. Interview was pretty straight forward, HR-ish interview. After the interview was over, interviewer said that I was very impressive and the next round would be an on-site interview, if selected. But after 15-20 days, I received an email that other candidates were selected over me, which was unexpected after hearing that I was impressive.
