Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Recruiter screening, then a conversation with a senior engineer, a coding challenge, and then an interview with two engineers reviewing the coding challenge and a system design interview.

The next step would have been a conversation with a board member, but I didn't make it to that step.

Apparently, I never heard back or benefitted from any feedback because the recruiter ghosted me.

The interviewer for the system design had an absolute poker face and gave little direction, so it felt very open-ended.

At the end, they said I would hear back in a day or two about next steps. I was very anxious and eager to hear back, only for the recruiter to go silent and ghost me, which felt quite unprofessional since I was given a timeline on when I would hear back by.
