Software Engineer Interview Experience

April 1, 2022

Process

I applied online and waited a month before a recruiter reached out to schedule an online assessment. I then waited another month to interview with the team.

I really liked that GitHub was used for the actual interview process, and they didn't include any "hacker rank" type questions. Overall, the coding assessments were very fair.

However, the part that frustrates me is the complete lack of communication. I've invested hours of my own time into this interview process, in addition to taking time off for my half-day of interviews. I've received zero communication from the recruiter since the last interview – no follow-up, no next steps, and not even the decency to say "thanks, but no thanks." I was completely ghosted.
