Process
I was contacted through LinkedIn, and the company seemed very interested in me. That said, after failing to call me for the first phone interview, I needed to prompt them to reschedule. Shortly before the second, they requested a reschedule for the next day, which I agreed to, but I never heard from them for the second interview. After having been forgotten twice for phone interviews, I chose not to follow up again.
Questions
There were no interview questions, as I was never called for my scheduled interviews.
