The interview process is a total mess that I have never experienced before. They sent me a code challenge, which I finished and sent back. After passing that, I was contacted to schedule a phone interview with their tech lead. I replied to the email immediately. A few days later, they called and said they hadn't received my reply. OK! I rescheduled for another date. At the scheduled time, I waited and waited, but no one called. I tried sending an email and calling HR to see what was going on, but received no response at all. OK! Then, a few days later, I got an email from a no-reply address saying: "XXX called you during the scheduled interview time and mentioned to me he spoke to you yesterday. I'm not sure why you think he did not call. I'm sorry, and I'm not sure where the communication gap happened. At this time, the hiring manager has decided to move forward with other candidates. Thank you for your time and interest."

Now they are blaming me, implying I lied about not speaking with their interviewer? Can you believe that? I must have spoken with a ghost at that time. Unbelievable experience, very disappointing, and time wasted.
