Lead Software Engineer Interview Experience - United Kingdom
Process
I applied via LinkedIn posting and received an email after a month for interview dates. The interview was fine, with simple questions here and there, some basic scenarios, and data structure use.
Since then, it's been more than a month, and no one has come back with any response. The job portal is still saying "You are under consideration for an interview."
I'm not sure what the recruiting team does if, even after a month, they are not able to decide and do not even send a courtesy email with positive or negative feedback (I am not expecting any call with them).
Questions
