I applied through a recruiter. The process took four weeks.

The initial stages of the process were really nice. Everyone was nice and friendly and provided quick feedback, which was highly appreciated. However, towards the end, there were some inconsistencies in communication. After the third interview, I was told that they had other interviews ongoing and that I’d be updated in a week's time when they were done. Unfortunately, despite my efforts to follow up, that update never came. Eventually, I received an email saying that the interviews were concluded and was asked for a call that day. I made myself available, but no calls or emails came for three days. Finally, I received a rejection email. It felt really frustrating in the end.

If you get hired, how would you approach people to make friends with them?
