I had a positive initial conversation with the recruiter, who was professional and engaging. During the call, I was told I would be progressing to the next stage and meeting with the hiring manager. However, I later received an automated rejection without any further communication or clarification. The sudden change in direction was unexpected and felt misaligned with the earlier feedback. Overall, while the initial interaction was strong, the process lacked clear communication and consistency, which made the experience disappointing, particularly for a company of this scale.
