Interview
I applied online and got a quick response from the recruiter asking for a phone conversation. I set up a phone screen and quickly got a confirmation. Phone screen went fine, he requested I set up a technical screen "this week if possible" (it was Wednesday afternoon already). I wasn't able to that week but did the following week, and it seemed to go fine. Didn't hear back from the recruiting team over the holidays, or when I sent a follow up email to hear back. Very unprofessional to ghost a candidate like this.

Interview
Process took about 3 weeks.
First there was the typical phone recruiter call, just talked about what I'm looking for in the job and such. Next was a technical screening with a software engineer. Very basic question, return if a string is a valid UPC number. 1 hour.
Got invited for the virtual rounds next, typical 4 hour panel. First interview was with a project manager and was only behavioral based. The rest were half behavioral and then technical. The technical problems were easy enough, no need to study leetcode (easier than Easy rated problems). One of the technical portions expanded on the valid upc question from earlier and was some collaboration there, genuinely a good interview experience that round.
Then invited for 30 minutes interview a few days later with the head of engineering. Behavioral questions but got rejected after this for unknown reason.
A standard experience
