I first had an interview with the HR rep. I sent a note after the initial call, which was responded to with "thanks so much for your time" and a "I'll reach out to you very soon." I never heard from them again. I followed up three weeks later, and I received no response. The company was just acquired by Fiscal Note, but this does not mean you should ghost people. Additionally, I thought that the HR specialist was unprofessional. When I asked about negotiating salary, she said "people don't work in this job to make money." It appeared to be a sad excuse to underpay people. The salary was 3-5K less than other companies I was interviewing at that were the same type of company and I would be performing a similar role.
