I applied and then had a phone screen. After that, I moved to an in-person interview where I met with two HR managers. Then, I was asked back to meet with the HR Manager and my potential boss. The next phase involved a request for references. After hearing nothing for over a week, I reached out for a status update and received a generic email thanking me for my time, implying the interviews and reference request never happened, with no explanation.

They seemed really unprepared for the interview. I followed the meeting directions and waited over 20 minutes. There was poor communication on their end. When the interview finally started, they still seemed unprepared. They didn't have questions ready and couldn't give much detail about the training or the job. To make it worse, one interviewer was on his phone most of the time. I get they might have been busy, but the whole thing felt rude and like they didn't care about my time.
