Process
Halfway through the interview process, the interviewer mentioned he did not feel well. He stated that he was going to reschedule the interview, and we ended the session on a good note.
The next day, I received a rejection letter with no explanation whatsoever.
I emailed HR asking what was going on, but they remained silent with no response.
