Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - Sydney, Australia

January 20, 2022
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process started when I applied for the role. Responses were quite prompt, and interviewers were courteous. However, it was a negative experience for me due to the careless recruiter. Even after emailing them to get an update, they didn't give me any response. After some Googling, I came to know that this is the typical GitHub recruitment experience. If you don't get selected, they don't have the minimum courtesy to let you know about the rejection; feedback is a far cry. This is very disappointing. I went for this role because I thought GitHub had a great culture. When I see the recruiters treating people and their time like trash, it makes me rethink my opinion.
