I had a phone interview for 60 minutes. I was dominating the conversation by describing my projects, and finally at minute 45, I got the code and I did it on time, even though I stumbled a little bit on the edge case.

Recruiter kept ghosting. Eventually, had an interview scheduled. But interviewer ghosted. Then got back to recruiter, who said they will schedule another interview, but ghosted again. Very unprofessional behavior from such a large firm.
