I was invited to a virtual interview and given a specific time, but no one joined the meeting. After waiting for 30 minutes, I contacted the HR person who set it up. It's been a week and I still haven't heard back from them.

The interview went well. They asked some questions about my previous experience and how I would go about developing a new payroll system. The interviewers were good and explained the process clearly. However, it's difficult to know the application status because they don't send rejection emails if you're not selected.
