Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I was reached out by a recruiter after a cold apply.
The interviewer asked basic questions to know my background as an initial screening step.
However, they did not proceed to the next steps after canceling the scheduled interviews. I suspect this was because of visa issues.
