They were not honest. I had a first interview and the conversation went very well, and the recruiter seemed quite interested. At the end, she explained the entire process to me, saying she would schedule the next interviews within the next 24 hours. A week later, with no response, I received an email saying they decided not to continue with my process and that I should try again in 6 months, with no feedback on what fell short of the job's expectations (even though, in that very first interview I had, the feedback was that there was a cultural, technical, and salary expectation alignment). There was nothing 'people-oriented' or human about my process.

The topics were previous projects, technical experiences, and other related subjects.
