Staff Backend Engineer Interview Experience

June 10, 2022
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online. The process took 1+ week.

Phone screen with a recruiter that was haphazard and felt like they had boxes to check. They didn't seem to understand the position or company well, but said management was interested.

Then I got a generic rejection email, which was confusing because management was interested and my skills matched ~90% of the skills listed in the job description.

Follow-up with the recruiter got vague, one-sentence replies (sometimes two or three words). Low transparency in the process and lack of effort.
