Candidate-reported interview process

Had a 30-minute job interview about my resume and skills. It was a quick and relevant talk where they described future tasks for the role. The interview was conducted online, which was fine.

The process kicked off smoothly and was swift, including a personality test and an assessment centre. However, after passing both and getting to the interview stage, they went silent and didn't give me an interview date. Then, 21 days later, they sent an email saying they're no longer hiring for the role. For such a large company to cancel a graduate position and take so long to inform you, it's really unprofessional.

It was an Online Assessment using HirePro, with 40 questions in 60 minutes. Then there was a technical part that lasted 30 minutes. They started by asking about the projects on my resume, what I did, and why. They also asked real-life questions related to my projects and coursework. After that, there was an HR part for 10 minutes where they asked about my internship, project teams, and hobbies.
