Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Process

HORRIBLE interview process. After completing six interviews, I was told I cleared the technical interview and was moved to the reference checks step. I was then ghosted by the recruitment team for 12 days. I reached out three separate times and received no response.

Finally, after CC'ing another recruiter, perhaps out of embarrassment, I received a generic response stating they had moved forward with another candidate.

I was told by the hiring manager that there were multiple roles for which I was eligible. Did they all get filled while my reference checks were in progress for 12 days?

I reached out asking the recruiter if I was still eligible for these roles. Instead of answering my question, they said they could meet on Zoom (weird). After proposing a few time slots, they again ghosted me for 4 days!

Truly an unbelievably bad experience. It's one thing to fail an interview and be rejected, but to be told you cleared it, that there are multiple openings you would be a good fit for, then be ghosted, is just shameful.
