Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States

Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I interviewed for the software rotational program and had an initial call interview. Overall I thought it went well and it was mostly a surface level interview with them just asking my interest rather than any technical questions.
Despite telling me that they would contact me, I was left ghosted and the recruiter stopped answering my calls.
