Software Engineer Interview Experience - Melbourne, Australia
May 1, 2025
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
After an extensive, months-long process, I was rejected by the final hiring committee. This was very unfortunate.
The process was mentally draining, and I don't believe it's a good indication of how well a candidate will perform in the role.
