HR contacted me, and we spent approximately 20 minutes on the phone for the initial screening interview. The HR stated that they would be interested in me having an interview with the hiring manager, and asked for my availability over the next few days. .. and then I never heard back. I attempted to call the number the HR had provided approx. 1 week later and left a message just asking for a status update - no call back. Feel lucky to have not been successful in the role, if they treat people with such rudeness.
