The initial process was smooth where the HR contacted me and scheduled the interview within a week. First step was a call from the HR and then interview with the hiring Managers. the interview in itself went off well and smoothly. But later no response back from the HR at all, even a rejection email I did not receive.

So the process wasn't too bad. First, there was a phone interview. A few days later, I got called in for a manager and supervisor interview. Then, I had a second in-person interview with the controller.
