Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

The interview process tends to extend over weeks without any information regarding timelines. Feedback is vague. People are treated like commodities. There is no interview etiquette. It's a prolonged process. When someone is made to travel to the campus for a face-to-face interview, the least they can do is respond to queries or let us know the status. Keeping people in ambiguity does not serve anyone. I would prefer working for people who place value on basic human interactions.
