Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

Only one round that too went very well with all the questions i have solved. But the problem started after wards.

I tried calling the HR after the interview and they simply didn't pick up the call. Very much unprofessional and simply next level ghosting. When the candidate does this everyone would back shouting.

If someone is spending time to give you interview then you can also spend time to atleast say what is the feedback and even if it's a rejection it's ok to say .

Simply not picking up call and ghosting just shows your company's standards and professionalism and culture. Will never ever recommend to anyone. Its much better to avoid. Simply waste of time and energy.

Funny part i really thought I cleared the interview since it was DSA and i coded both problems correctly with both showing perfect output. The interviewer seems to be satisfied but only God knows why a rejection mail came with zero feedback

I practiced LeetCode easy problems involving strings.
