I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Photon (London, England) in May 2024
Interview
1 screening call + 1 HR call + 2 technical interviews, just for a contract role and before even being presented to client. Promised that I would be put forward to their client for final interview, but then got ghosted for 3 weeks before hearing that they'd already selected someone else. Time wasters.

They don't have knowledge on conduct the proper interview process. Lot of rounds they conduct. I have attended 7 rounds and then also they can't able to predict me. No updates they gave and not attend my calls.
