Process

Complete radio silence after on-site interviews.

I went through the whole interview process, including one full day of technical interviews, back to back.

They simply stopped replying to any sort of communication: no reply to my emails, and they wouldn't accept my phone calls.

I was gobsmacked by the staggering level of unprofessionalism. Who would want to work at a place like that?

This was at the Amsterdam branch, formerly known as Scyfer.

Questions
