Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

First, an interview with the hiring manager, followed by technical interviews with peers.

Got ghosted halfway through the process with "we’re fortunate to have received a lot of interest in this role, resulting in a very competitive selection process."

Very poorly handled – a total waste of time.
