Clemson Porter Properties interview questions

I gave total of 3 interviews. They lied about the salary budget in the first interview even after knowing my expectations, asked me again in my second interview. Only in my third interview, after considerable time and effort has been spent by me did they say that their budget is HALF my expectation. Also, I had to follow up on updates and when the next interview will be from my side. It's like they wont tell you this info if you dont inquire.
