Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online and a recruiter reached out to me.

To my surprise, it wasn’t to schedule a call, but to answer three lengthy, multi-part behavioral questions via email. Strange, but okay.

I took the time and care to write out thoughtful responses. I heard nothing for two weeks until I received an autogenerated rejection.

Quite a letdown. How lazy can a company get?

If you’re going to put the burden on the candidate to do work for your convenience and benefit, the least a company can do is reply.

Lame.
