Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

After applying online, a recruiter contacted me with a coding challenge.

I completed the coding challenge and successfully passed all test cases.

Upon submitting the challenge, I emailed the recruiter to inform them I was finished.

A few days later, I received a response stating they had no more openings available. (This was after Grace Hopper, so I assume it was just bad timing on my part).

Overall, I was quite disappointed and wish they had communicated this more clearly to avoid me spending time on the coding challenge.
