Front End Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Submitted application through their website.
Received a reply from HR to schedule a first-round interview.
Completed the first round, and the HR representative indicated there would be a follow-up (next round). However, I never heard back.
Although it seemed during the call with HR that they weren't too impressed, the lack of any follow-up emails or communication whatsoever is very unprofessional and disrespectful. It was a truly negative experience.
