7. Logistics call
I got a verbal offer from them and they told me I would be getting a written offer very soon. After a week, some new recruiter called me and gave me the verbal offer again and told me to wait for the written offer. A week passed, emailed them to know why I hadn't gotten the offer yet. No reply! After more emails and some time, they told me that they can no longer offer the position without any explanation.
Emailed and cc'ed everyone I have had interviews with to understand the reason since the feedback was amazing and they were still hiring. The response I got was absurd. Basically, they thought I would be a good fit for a team but then decided not to hire anyone for that specific team. I did not follow up after that cause I do not care.
