The phone interview went really well. They told me I'd hear back soon, and that I was a great candidate and would get a callback very quickly. But I haven't heard back yet.

The initial interview round was a video recording where I had to answer questions. It was okay. But then things went downhill with poor communication from the recruiter and HR. They took about 6 weeks to give me a rejection, even though they gave me false hope. Definitely a red flag.
