Technical Coding Behavioral

I got an invite for a telephonic round from HR and took it the next day. I cleared it, but after reading company reviews on Glassdoor, I was confused about whether to proceed with the F2F rounds. I decided to go for it anyway and traveled 43 km. When I arrived for the F2F, the HR person didn't meet me. My interview started with the same person from the first round, who asked similar questions and a few new ones. The interviewer said he'd continue the rest of the interview later due to meetings. I mentioned I'd taken the day off and asked to complete all F2F rounds today, but he suggested I speak with HR. I answered all questions well. I waited in reception, and the receptionist told me to leave for the day and that HR would contact me. I haven't heard back yet. I emailed HR for feedback, even asking for a negative response if necessary, but still no reply. I didn't appreciate the HR's behavior towards candidates and wouldn't recommend this company due to their unprofessional HR.
