The interview process started well. I was invited to an intro HR call, which was friendly and focused on getting to know each other. The recruiter told more about Apify and the role. I shared a bit about my background. At the end of the call, she said I'd be added to a GitHub repo for the test assignment, receive a technical contact, and could reach out with any follow-up questions.
Sadly, there was silence after the interview. I didn't receive the mentioned contact information, I wasn't added to the repository, and my follow-up emails and LinkedIn messages didn't get a response either. That was unexpected and very disappointing given the company and the role made such a great first impression.
