Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through a recruiter.

It was a super bizarre experience. The recruiter reached out and scheduled a thirty-minute intro. They gave a quick forty-five-second overview of their interview process and then abruptly asked if I had any questions. The recruiter was not engaged in the conversation at all, as if they had already hired for the role. It felt like I had to pry information from them. They didn't provide any information on the company, team, tech stack, or anything else. There was absolutely nothing. The only info they provided voluntarily was the total number of interviews in their process.
