Software Engineer Interview Experience - Switzerland
Process
A few months ago, I had a call at 10 PM CET time (since the recruiter was based in San Francisco). The call lasted for over an hour, answering generic behavioral interview questions. At the end, it turned out that the position I was applying for was no longer available. However, since the recruiter was happy about my experience and performance, we agreed to keep in touch.
Fast forward a few months later. The position is available once again, so I applied again through the website and contacted the recruiter to reconnect. This time, however, I received absolutely no feedback or answer.
Questions
