Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
I had an interview with a recruiter. It felt a little awkward, and it seemed as if the recruiter wasn't familiar with the frameworks I mentioned I work with. After our interview, I actually looked up the recruiter to verify they worked at Netflix, as I suspected I might have been scammed (I did verify they work there). Despite this, I was told they wanted to move forward and was asked to send my availability. I was ghosted after that, and my follow-up email was ignored.
