This interview process was insanely unprofessional. I will begin by listing out how -an interview was set up on a particular date and at a particular time and the recruiter did not send out the teams invite. The recruiter ghosted -I got called a month later by a second recruiter for the same job and they actually did set up the call. However they lied about the rate - Post interview the recruiter ghosted
