Applied on 8/26. Recruiter contacted me on 9/4 for an interview, and I interviewed on 9/6. I spoke with 3 managers; 2 of them seemed uninterested. We discussed the company and projects, and I was asked to identify schematic symbols. They said they'd update me in 2-3 weeks, but I saw I was rejected on the portal a few hours later.
