Applied for a new grad position. First talked with an engineering leader who liked me and liked what I had to say, so I moved on to the next round, which was a take home programming question, and then they expand upon that in the form of phone call.

After the call (which went well), they basically went radio silent for over a month. About a month later, after I had emailed, they called me and told me that I had "though the interview went well, we have decided to move on with other candidates", and then they hung up immediately while I was thanking them for their time. What a garbage, mediocre company. Their HR employees are beyond disrespectful and rude.

I am programming some sort of string validator.
