Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Applied for the job. After a week, received a link to a survey to add candidate details again. After 2 weeks, requested availability for a business Development Representative phone screen by a sales recruiter. Yes, you heard it right, I received a business Development Representative phone screen by a sales recruiter. I reconfirmed the position is for staff/senior software engineer and provided my availability. On the day of the technical phone screen, I couldn't receive the call right away since my phone froze and I had to restart and called the recruiter.

The recruiter wouldn't receive the call even after 3 tries. Emailed the recruiter of the situation & requested additional dates for a phone screen, who decides to send a rejection. What a waste of time trying to fill the survey and get ghosted by the recruiter. Additionally, the software engineer screening is by a sales recruiter. What a joke? Don't recommend applying here unless you just have no option.
