The start of the process was clean. A standard phone interview with a few behavioral questions. It seemed to have gone over well enough where I was invited for an in-person. As much as I liked my interviewer, I couldn't help but think there might have been somewhat of a disconnect in terms of language. I felt that much of what I had communicated was not being understood, nor were there any questions inviting me to elaborate. Regardless, we seemed to have connected over sports and all signs were positive. I followed-up to thank my interviewer for his time. He responded by saying it was a pleasure and ensured we'd be in touch "very soon". Needless to say I was quite surprised to have received an automated 'thanks-but-no-thanks' less than 24 hours later.
