I applied online, and a friend also sent a referral for me. Things moved fairly fast.

The recruiter reached out and arranged an initial screening. It was fairly easy, with a couple of questions about my experience and an easy coding question. I was then invited for a virtual on-site consisting of seven 30-minute 1:1 interviews.

This is when things started getting sour. The recruiter never sent me any information about the interviews. The only details I knew were the interviewer's names (not even surnames) and the interview times. That was it.

I reached out for a bit of context as to what to expect, and at that point, I was totally ghosted.

I went through all seven interviews, and they all went pretty well. However, I never received any communication despite my two follow-up attempts, one week and three weeks later. Total radio silence. It has been six weeks, and still nothing.

I think if you interview someone who has an internal referral and spent five hours interviewing them, you owe them a two-line rejection email. This is certainly not how I would expect a trillion-dollar company to treat its candidates, and it speaks volumes about what to expect when you are actually hired. The whole process was unprofessional, full of ambiguity, and a total waste of my time.
