Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
I got an interview through a referral. The process started with a recruiter screen, a technical interview with a developer, and a hiring manager call.
Despite receiving positive feedback initially, I was completely ghosted by the recruiter. This is always the worst feeling after investing time in the company's process.
Questions
NDA, but pretty generic behavioral and more company-specific technical questions.
