* Multiple rounds - HR screen, a few technical rounds, a culture fit round. Fairly standard.
* I have passed all of them and got a verbal offer.
* After a few days, the recruiter called and said they're now doing a hiring freeze and said they'd consider me in the future as soon as they resume hiring.
* That was a lie. They'd since resumed hiring and I tried again, with a referral from a previous interviewer who seemed to want me hired.
* Despite this, all of my subsequent applications have been automatically rejected.
* Will not apply here again and would not recommend anyone else to do that either.
