Software Engineer Interview Experience

June 12, 2026
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online.

Scheduled a call with the recruiter. The recruiter didn't show up for the screening call and cancelled it 5 mins after the scheduled time. Dropped a follow-up email and got no response.

After a week, I got an email from the recruiter stating I am selected for the next round, i.e., assessment. Sent me an email with the assessment description but no link. When I sent a follow-up email asking for the link, I got ghosted again.

It was a bad experience. Felt like she is toying with me. Why ghost an applicant repetitively? Unprofessional recruiter who doesn't respect an applicant's time or efforts!
