Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California

Process

I hesitate to call my experience an interview because, laughingly, I didn't even get to speak to the internal recruiter who originally reached out to me via LinkedIn.

We initially had a date and time set, and the recruiter switched the calendar invite to a different day and time 10 minutes before we were due to meet, without even the courtesy of informing me.

As it turns out, that day and time were not good for me, so I suggested a different day and time and sent the recruiter a note. The recruiter accepted the second invite, and I thought we were all set to meet via Zoom.

I joined the call, but the recruiter never showed – totally ghosted. I haven't heard from the recruiter since.
