I applied online and was contacted for an interview about 1.5 week later. I interviewed with two members of the hiring team. One week following the interview, I was asked to complete a case study exercise. The HR team checked my references (using a very lengthy questionnaire). Then, a few days after that, I was informed via email from HR that the position was closed.
This was the most frustrating part, that they checked multiple references but did not make an offer or even contact me personally (the email from HR seemed to be automatically generated).
