I applied online. A recruiter reached out to me and scheduled a call. The call was a weird experience for me as the recruiter was asking me for my references from my current company manager, which I declined. I mentioned I can get a reference from my ex-team lead, but she wanted my manager's reference. I thought she wouldn't move me forward, but after a week, all of a sudden received an OA to complete, and they wanted it done in 2 days lol. After that, I was asked to schedule a hiring manager round. The manager asked me questions related to my project in detail and a few other questions. I felt the interview went quite well, but the next day an automated response came that they're not moving forward.
I was looking at other Glassdoor reviews of this company and didn't find a single review where someone actually accepted the offer, so I got an idea from that the kind of company this is.
Tell me about a project you're most proud of
