Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I've never been ghosted by a company during the interview process before Etsy.
I can't believe a "professional" company would let a candidate make it so far as the virtual on-site interview and then just never contact them again.
I understand that a recruiter cannot provide feedback, but a rejection message is standard and courteous.
Nothing. Ghosted.
Unprofessional as can be.
