Initial call with recruiter, then a meeting with hiring manager. Then the circus began. I was asked to meet with three pairs of employees (engineering, design, product) for about 30 minutes each. Next stage I presented case studies of my previous work. Assumed it would be to the aforementioned group, but it was an entirely new group of people...more than 8 people muted on a Zoom call. Felt like a horrible group date. Weeks later I had not heard back, so I contacted the hiring manager on LinkedIn and was informed that they had scrapped the entire budget and wouldn't be hiring anyone after all!
