Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Costa Rica
Process
A recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn. I completed an online coding round in Codility, after which I was invited for virtual interviews.
The virtual interview consisted of three rounds:
- 1 behavioral
- 2 coding/design
Positive:
I enjoyed the three virtual interview rounds. The interviewers were very nice, and I had a really interesting conversation with all of them.
Negative:
The communication and interaction with the recruiters were very poor. Most emails were automatic messages, and it seemed they didn't even care. After the virtual interviews, I received an email stating they would make me an offer and that it could take one to three weeks. I was completely ghosted after that email. I even tried to get in touch with the recruiters, even CC'ing everyone I could, but I did not get a response.
