Summer Associate Intern

I received an email about a week after my application to schedule a 1st round telephone interview. It took them pretty long to respond. Overall, it took about a week to schedule the interview. I talked with the HR person. After the interview, communication stopped and they stopped responding to my email(s) and call(s). Eventually, I gave up and I do not even think that they hired anyone in that season, because my friend in the office did not hear of any new interns. That's rather strange.
