Software Engineer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
First, I applied on LinkedIn.
Then, a recruiter reached out.
The recruiter phone screened me, then sent me an online assessment.
I received a big "congrats" on making it past the online assessment.
The recruiter was hyping me up.
Then, interview day happened, followed by a temporarily depressing rejection a day later.
Lots of subconscious interview bias, but what do I know.
