Peterson Technology Partners interview questions

I was contacted by Peterson Technology Partners (PTP) through LinkedIn for an SDET (Automation Tester) opportunity. I had not applied directly. They reached out to me, and after reviewing the role, I agreed to move forward with the process. The initial interactions were smooth and professional. I had a technical interview where I felt I performed well. After the interview, the recruiter shared very positive feedback, mentioning that the interviewer was "quite impressed." This made me believe I was being seriously considered for the position. Unfortunately, after this feedback, communication stopped. I followed up politely a few times over the following weeks but never received any updates. There was no message confirming whether the process had been closed or if they had chosen another candidate. I understand that hiring decisions can change or take longer than expected. However, when a company reaches out directly to a candidate, the minimum expectation is clear communication and closure.

Recruiter interviewed from a script. Complete waste of time. Had to follow up multiple times to find out the job had been filled internally. They were friendly and the process was easy, but the questions weren’t entirely clear, and I was led to believe I’d be interviewing with the hiring manager during the first call.
