Software Engineer Interview Experience - Irvine, California

September 1, 2025
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Somewhat fine, but I had a problem with last-minute rescheduling.

The interview was rescheduled twice right before the original time, and I was not consulted about the new time.

Then, halfway through the full loop, my interviews were canceled without any word or reason.

The HR person said they wanted to move forward with other candidates, but not until the day after, wasting my time.

All in all, the personnel was good, but the recruiter was very sloppy.
