Ascendion interview questions

The recruiter was very responsive initially and set up an interview with someone else from Ascendion. The person I interviewed with had a thick accent which made it incredibly difficult to answer their questions, I had to ask them to repeat multiple times. The interview went well despite that and I was set up with a small call with someone else who was in contact with the client company, and was supposed to set up an interview with them. After that there was just nothing, I had to check in with the recruiter who just said that they were still waiting for feedback. A few weeks later and the position is just closed. the entire process was a huge waste of time and I'm not sure if this role was even real.
