Process
I was contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn.
Following a short conversation with the recruiter, I had a call with the team manager, then a coding interview.
I was ghosted after that. My email software even shows when they viewed my follow-up emails, which felt very unprofessional.
What if a prospective engineer wanted to apply a few years down the road after their skills had improved, but were so put off by the unprofessionalism they wouldn't bother?
Even a quick, copy-paste template reject email goes a long way. I have had much better experiences with other big tech companies like Facebook.
Questions
NDA, but basic LeetCode algorithm questions.
A few behavioral questions, but algorithm questions are really the only thing they seem to care about, unless you're overly weird or crazy.
Don't even bother with personal projects.
