Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
They sent an email asking me to fill out my availability for interviewing with no details on what to expect, how long it would take, etc. I responded thanking them for considering me and filled out my availability marking several 4+ hour long times over the next week.
They waited until the end of my availability to respond saying they were no longer considering me with a boilerplate message that gave no explanation as to why.
This feels incredibly disrespectful and I'm happy to not be working there if this is how they treat people they are considering welcoming to the team.
