I was contacted by a recruiter regarding an opened position at Elastic, Spanish office.
The first step was an HR interview, and then a hiring manager interview was scheduled. It was okay, but the strange thing happened after it. I was told that feedback would be provided within the week (the HM interview was on Monday). With no feedback, on Friday I pinged the recruiter via both email and LinkedIn, and there was no reply.
The week after, I sent an email to the hiring manager I was interviewing with, asking for feedback, either negative or positive, but there was no answer there as well. So, overall, the best practices of ghosting were noticed in the Elastic recruiting process. I strongly wouldn't recommend wasting your time with this company, but maybe you will be luckier :)
There were just overall behavioural questions, such as the most difficult bug and collaboration.
The following metrics were computed from 39 interview experiences for the Elastic Software Engineer role.
Elastic's interview process for their Software Engineer roles is fairly selective, failing a large portion of engineers who go through it.
Candidates reported having very good feelings for Elastic's Software Engineer interview process.
