Software Engineer Interview Experience - Ireland

October 28, 2025

Negative ExperienceNo Response

Process

They cared about coding skills, and didn't even ask questions about my abilities. Specifically, my experience with them before the interviews was not really good since they didn’t even bother to delete “RecuiterName” from their emails most of the time. Whenever I tried to reach out to HR, they sometimes replied but mostly ghosted.
