Front End Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
1-hour phone screening, then invited for a 5-hour on-site interview.
After the interview, HR did not send me an update.
It's been almost 2 months, and I have even tried to follow up by sending numerous emails to the recruiter and the manager who interviewed me on-site, but no answers so far.
Ghosting candidates. Very unprofessional. They can't even simply send a "No" letter.
