Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I had an initial call with the recruiter, after which I completed the coding assessment. After that, I tried to reach out to the recruiter several times but was ghosted. This was such a waste of time. Please do yourself a favor and hire recruiters who value the candidates' time and at least reply back to them. This has been the worst experience.

Questions

Some easy coding questions: sorting, etc.
