I did several rounds of interviews, meeting with the recruiter, hiring manager, colleague, and a portfolio presentation. Throughout the process, everyone was friendly, with constant and quick contact with the recruiter. The recruiter seemed to be transparent and when I commented on it, they told me multiple times about how important the prospect experience was to the company.
The portfolio presentation apparently did not go well because they ghosted me afterward. I have a good portfolio and the interviewers seemed to take pains not to give me any feedback.
After all of the discussion about prospect experience, it seemed that once I was no longer a candidate, they did not feel the need to send even an automated rejection. I am now employed elsewhere.
