Had a brief screening call followed by a very pleasant 1st interview with the local HR team to discuss my experience and career expectations. I was promised an update within a week for the next stage.

Instead, there was total radio silence for 2 months. They eventually reached out after two months stating the role was frozen and asking if I was still interested in proceeding. Even if hiring priorities shift or positions get put on hold, leaving candidates in the dark for two months is a major flaw in their hiring process.

Discussion about my career expectations, personal development goals, and motivations.
