Process
The recruiter was rude and hard to reach during this entire process. I should have dropped out.
It has now been weeks since my final interview, and I still have heard nothing from Square.
I spent hours of my time getting through this process, and the recruiter did not even have the courtesy to provide feedback. Even a generic "we went another way" rejection would be better than leaving me hanging.
Very disappointing.
