Very unprofessional and sloppy. I was reached out via e-mail asking for times I'd be available. I sent a reply and got nothing back and got a missed call and a voicemail Monday morning. I called back and was asked why I missed the call. I explained that I never received a follow-up e-mail and the HR rep only remarked "How odd" in a dismissive tone as if I was the one at fault.

I got an email response within a day of my online application and had a phone interview scheduled the next week. However, I was rejected at the first question itself without any questions regarding my experience or knowledge in the industry, due to the fact that I am not a US Citizen or Green Card holder, even though I have a valid authorization to work in the States and did not expect sponsorship from the employer. This information was already confirmed within my initial online application. Perhaps foreign talent is better off not working for a company that prefers to hire American first but calls themselves an equal opportunity employer.
