I was ghosted, After waiting for 15 minutes in the first interview, the interviewer did not show up, I ended up emailing the recruiter(who no longer works there), he promised to get back to me soon and that the first interviewer had an emergency, i waited for the second interviewer for 15 minutes, no one showed up.
