Job ghosts me after their own mistake

I got an interview for a job in my city. It’s a global company and the interview was on zoom so just in case, I specified what time zone I was in. They replied saying “that time works great (not specifying any time zone) so I assume that since it’s an in person job in my current time zone, I had nothing to worry about. Now I’m like 20 minutes away from the interview time, I check my email, and it’s a message from them saying they’re disappointed I didn’t join the call and that I better have a good reason why. I’m baffled because I was the one that specified the time zone, they agreed, and then they scheduled it for that time but in a different time zone without telling me so I “missed” it by an hour. I emailed them back saying that this was the mistake…

Now I’m like 20 minutes away from the interview time, I check my email, and it’s a message from them saying they’re disappointed I didn’t join the call and that I better have a good reason why. I’m baffled because I was the one that specified the time zone, they agreed, and then they scheduled it for that time but in a different time zone without telling me so I “missed” it by an hour.

I emailed them back saying that this was the mistake but I’m happy to reschedule. It’s been three days now and nothing.

Something similar happened a few months ago when I was offered a position, but politely declined because it was for an entry level role and I specified that I was more interested in this more senior role. Even in my interview, they said I’d be a better fit for the more senior role, but I got left on read.

I’m kind of sick of it and want to email this company saying it’s very unprofessional of them to say it was my mistake and then not even email me back.
