They've been rude in a variety of ways. The big one though is simply ghosting me after 5+ rounds with no explanation. This has happened a variety of times and reaching out usually gets a non response. It's infuriating.

The others are just not being professional. Wearing pajamas or not paying attention or acting incredibly disinterested. It's really terrible.

I don't take that personally. If I don't hear anything within a period of time then I get they've moved on. There's no utility for them to be in contact anymore with me. It's unprofessional but I get why it occurs and don't feel slight.

You should feel upset. It’s basic courtesy to say “we don’t want you”. This is not dating it’s literally a massive corporation it costs them nothing to send a rejection email instead of leaving you in purgatory
