If you’re considering interviewing at Circle, take time to read the other candidate reviews—they tell a consistent story. Ghosting isn’t an exception; it’s the norm. Communication from technical recruiting is slow, vague, or nonexistent. Don’t take it personally—it appears to be systemic.

You may invest weeks in interviews, meet multiple team members, and still be left in silence with no update. That kind of experience signals a lack of coordination and accountability.

Communication with the recruiter I worked with was unprofessional—delays were often excused with personal anecdotes about being busy, family matters, or unrelated life events, instead of providing timely updates or clear information about next steps. It gives the impression of a recruiting function that’s poorly managed, or not held to professional standards.

The number of negative candidate reviews here is striking. And, that they’ve gone unaddressed suggests deeper dysfunction in recruiting leadership and a lack of urgency or care from the broader company and leadership. If you're pursuing a role here, go in with open eyes. The process may be slow, inconsistent, and uncommunicative—and that could be a red flag for how things operate internally too.

I have questions about my prior work experience.
