Behavioral Technical

HR reached out and scheduled an interview for the next day. I met with two engineers for about 2-3 hours to discuss the role, and we had lunch afterwards. Another interview with senior management was scheduled for after that day. However, since then, I haven't heard back from HR. They haven't responded to my emails or text messages, which I found quite rude.
