Interview
A few weeks after I applied, I was notified that I would have an HR screen 2 days later. In the interview, I was asked weird questions like how I organize my email inbox. The person quizzed me on attention to detail, but continuously spelt my name wrong in emails. I heard back over a month later that I didn't move on.

Interview
Video interview with recruiter followed by video interview with hiring manager. I followed up with my recruiter multiple times over the course of 3 weeks but kept getting the run around. Buying time for the hiring manager to continue the process with other candidates. I understand if I am not the right candidate, but don't string me along for weeks especially if I am being proactive and asking for an update.
