Software Engineer Interview Experience - Canada

Process

Got my phone screen 3 months after applying online. That part was pretty positive and I thought went well. A month later, I was scheduled for a second interview.

I got sick and asked to postpone for a week. Then, 3 days before the interview, I noticed the jobs site said "no longer under consideration". I'm kinda bewildered as to why the sudden change of heart, but regardless, candidates should at least get an email informing them of the change.

I had to ask, and was told I'd get an update after checking with the manager, which I never received. It's fine if you want to reject me as a candidate, but there's a right way to do that. It makes me wonder if the HR department can't keep up with the hiring they've been asked to do.

Questions

Discussed past projects, technologies I'd used, challenges I'd had with those technologies, and my relationship/interest in open source.
