I never leave reviews, but the unprofessionalism of this company has prompted me too. I went in for an interview and then was Ghosted by them. Not wanting to work with someone is one thing, but to not reply and completely ignore is another. A simple reply back would have sufficed. Sad to see immature internet culture seeping into so called professional companies.
