It was a multi-stage interview process starting with a recruiter, then moving on to a local manager, then a regional manager, and finally a corporate executive. They flew me to several different states for interviews, but then they just completely ghosted me at the end.

The manager was 45 minutes late when I arrived for my interview. Right off the bat, he asked about my immigration status, which I found really offensive because I'm Canadian. The whole interview was pretty uncomfortable, with him looking at my resume and making rude comments about my background. I've never experienced anything like this in Canada before, and it was really disappointing.
